jamhuriyat ek tarz-e-hukumat hai ki jis mein bandon ko gina karte hain taula nahin karte allama iqbal critiques a democracy that reduces human beings to headcounts. “counting” stands for votes and sheer majority, while “weighing” symbolizes judging people by merit, character, and moral worth. the emotional core is disillusionment: a system may look fair outwardly yet ignore real justice. the couplet warns that quantity can overpower quality when governance becomes only arithmetic.

Democracy
Democracy is a way of governance but it is more importantly a way of life which regulates societies and cultures. In politics, it has been the most debated form of governance but also the most subscribed to. The modern world can only ill afford not be democratic. Poets have developed a discourse on democracy which is well borne out by the small selection here.

jamhuriyat ke bich phansi aqaliyat tha dil mauqa jise jidhar se mila war kar diya
yahi jamhuriyat ka naqs hai jo takht-e-shahi par kabhi makkar baithe hain kabhi ghaddar baithe hain
kabhi jamhuriyat yahan aae yahi 'jalib' hamari hasrat hai
jhukana sikhna padta hai sar logon ke qadmon mein yunhi jamhuriyat mein hath sardari nahin aati
jamhuriyat ka dars agar chahte hain aap koi bhi saya-dar shajar dekh lijiye
nam is ka aamariyyat ho ki ho jamhuriyat munsalik firauniyat masnad se tab thi ab bhi hai
jamhuriyat ki lash pe taqat hai khanda-zan is barahna nizam mein har aadmi ki khair
sunne mein aa rahe hain masarrat ke waqiat jamhuriyat ka husn numayan hai aaj-kal
duhai de ke wo jamhuriyat ki nizam-e-khwab ruswa kar raha hai
jamhuriyat bhi turfa-tamasha ka kis qadar lauh-o-qalam ki jaan yad-e-aharman mein hai
