"Ishq karne se kaha darta hai, Ishq to maarkar hi ishq karta hai."(Love does not fear to happen, Love kills to assert love.)
"Mohabbat aur baghawat ke beech koi lakeer nahi hoti… Ishq aur inqalab ke beech koi farak nahi hota."(There is no difference between lover and rebellion… There is no variance between love and revolt.)
"Puraani deeware paar nahi ki jaati, gira di jaati hai."(Old walls are not crossed but shattered.)
"Saza hum jism ko nahi, rooh ko dete hai, aur isme apki rooh hai."(We don't punish the body but the soul, and this has your soul.)
"Sirf ghungroo pehen lene se aurat tawaif nahi banti hai, din ke aur raat saare hunar seekhne padte hain."(A woman cannot become a courtesan just by wearing ghungroo, she must learn the skills of both day and night.)
"Log ladh kar azaad hote hai aur tawaif mar kar."(People attain freedom after fighting while a courtesan does by dying.)
