ye jazba-e-talab to mira mar na ja.ega — Hayat Lakhnavi

"khuda ke vaste mohr-e-sukut toD bhi de tamam shahr tiri guftugu ka pyasa hai"

"ab dilon men koi gunja.ish nahin milti 'hayat' bas kitabon men likkha harf-e-vafa rah ja.ega"

"silsila khvabon ka sab yunhi dhara rah ja.ega ek din bistar pe koi jagta rah ja.ega"

"mudda.a ham apna kaghaz par raqam kar ja.enge vaqt ke hathon men apna faisla rah ja.ega"

"har sada se bach ke vo ehsas-e-tanha.i men hai apne hi divar-o-dar men gunjta rah ja.ega"

"chehre ko tere dekh ke khamosh ho gaya aisa nahin saval tira la-javab tha"
