Aawaaza Tere Adl Ka Ho Sabke Gosh-zad — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
May the renown of your justice reach every ear, such that even an elephant's strength cannot prevail over a gnat.
Explanation
The poet wishes that the fame of your justice reaches everyone's ears. In a kingdom of true fairness, strength should never be allowed to crush the weak. Here, the tiny mosquito stands for the powerless, and the mighty elephant stands for the strong and powerful. The hope is that under your rule, no powerful person can bully or overpower someone small and helpless. Justice means protecting the weak, so that even the humblest creature feels safe. It is a beautiful prayer for a world where power bows to fairness, and might never tramples over the defenceless.
