جبر نہیں ہوتا عزت کی تمنا کے ساتھ

 جبر نہیں ہوتا عزت کی تمنا کے ساتھ

خود ایسے افراد کے آگے سر نہیں جھکتا

وہ کھلی دلی اور جذباتی شخصیتوں کو پسند کرتے ہیں

جو دوسروں کی تنقید سے دو کوڑی کا نہیں سوچتے

English translation:

One cannot demand respect with force,

The self never bows in front of such people.

They admire open-hearted and emotional personalities,

Who do not think twice about criticism from others.
