The East imitating the West is deprived on its true self
It should attemp, instead, a critical appraisal!
The power of the West springs not from her music
Not from the dance of her unveiled daughters!
Her strength not comes from irreligion
Nor her progress from the adoption of the Latin script
The power of the West lies in her Arts and Sciences
At their fire has it kindled its lamp
~Iqbal~
