kis ko qatil main kahun kis ko masiha samajhun
sab yahan dost hi baithe hain kise kya samajhun
wo bhi kya din the ke har vaham yaqin hota tha
ab haqiqat nazar aaye to use kya samajhun
dil jo tuta to kai hath dua ko uthe
aise mahaul mein ab kis ko paraya samajhun
zulm ye hai ke hai yaqta teri beganaravi
lutf ye hai ke main ab tak tujhe apna samajhun
I fear the popular notion of success stands in direct opposition in all points to the real and wholesome success.

Teacher: Agar apna character sudharna hai to sab auraton ko MAA kaha karo.
Student: Madam is se mera character to theek rahega, par mere baap ka bigad jayega.
Mujhko Rula Kar Dil Uska Bhi Rooya To Hoga..
Uski Ankho Par Bhi Ansoo Aaya To Hoga..
Agar Na Kiya Kuch Haasil Humne Pyaar Me To Gam Nahi..
Kuch Na Kuch Usne Bhi Khooya To Hoga..!
I hate to be defended in a newspaper. As long as all that is said is said against me, I feel a certain assurance of success. But as soon as honeyed words of praise are spoken for me, I feel as one that lies unprotected before his enemies.
It may well be that we shall by a process of sublime irony have reached a state in this story where safety will be the sturdy child of terror, and survival the twin brother of annihilation.
Din tere khayal mein guzar jata hai, raat ko bhi
tera khayal ata hai, kabhi-kabhi tera khayal is
kadar ubhar jata hai, ki aaine mein bhi tera chehra
nazar ata hai...
