“And Hir replied to her father, ‘As wine-bibbers cannot desert the bottle, as opium-eaters cannot live without opium, so I cannot live without Ranjha. As the stain of mango juice cannot be washed awaj from clothes, so the stain of love cannot be erased when once the heart has fallen a victim. Love is likebaldness. You cannot get rid of it even in twelve years.”

“One day the Five Pirs appeared before him, and Ranjha bowed himself to the ground, and Hir was with him. And the Pirs said, ‘Children, we salute you. Remember God. Do not tarnish the world of love. Ranjha, you are Hir’s and Hir is yours. A pearl and ruby have come together. Your love will cause trouble and strife in the world. The world will taunt you, hut be brave and steadfast. Do not abandon love, and remember God day and night.”

“A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.”

“I cannot be silent about injustice. And I shall keep doing so because I love life, and I love my fellow humans who inhabit this world.”

“I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!”

“Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”

“The sadest part of love life is when you cannot live with and without the one you love”
