“Sometimes you get stuck and it takes you days to find a way through the lurch, landslides and natural calamities. It is the life of a mountaineer.”

“मदिरालय जाने को घर से चलता है पीनेवाला, ‘किस पथ से जाऊँ’ असमंजस में है वह भोलाभाला; अलग-अलग पथ बतलाते सब पर मैं यह बतलाता हूँ… ‘राह पकड़ तू एक चला चल, पा जाएगा मधुशाला | 6”

“लाल सुरा की धार लपट-सी कह न इसे देना ज्वाला, फेनिल मदिरा है, मत इसको कह देना उर का छाला, दर्द नशा है इस मदिरा का विगत स्मृतियाँ साक़ी हैं; पीड़ा में आनन्द जिसे हो, आए मेरी मधुशाला | 14”

“चलने ही चलने में कितना जीवन, हाय, बिता डाला ! ‘दूर अभी है’, पर, कहता है हर पथ बतलाने वाला; हिम्मत है न बढूँ आगे को साहस है न—फिरूँ पीछे; किंकर्तव्यविमूढ़ मुझे कर दूर खड़ी है मधुशाला | 7”

“जगती की शीतल हाला-सी पथिक, नहीं मेरी हाला, जगती की ठंडे प्याले-सा, पथिक, नहीं मेरा प्याला, ज्वाल-सुरा जलते प्याले में दग्ध हृदय की कविता है; जलने से भयभीत न जो हो, आए मेरी मधुशाला | 15”
