Look at the evils of the world around you and protect yourself from them. Our teachers give all the wrong messages to our youth, since they take away the natural flare from the soul. Take it from me that all knowledge is useless until it is connected with your life, because the purpose of knowledge is nothing but to show you the splendors of yourself!
I tell you the sign of a believer; When Death comes, there is a smile on his lips
From your past emerges the present, and from the present is born your future.
I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single State. Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West Indian Muslim State appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of North-West India.
If one cannot live the life of the brave, then it is better to die like the brave.
But inner experience is only one source of human knowledge.
God is not a dead equation!

The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience for capturing Reality must always remain individual and incommunicable.
I have never considered myself a poet. Therefore, I am not a rival of anyone, and I do not consider anybody my rival.
I have seen the movement of the sinews of the sky, And the blood coursing in the veins of the moon.
