“ज्ञान साधना की सीपी में तुम मोती बन जाओगी,
सूरज की तुम कनक रश्मियों से आभा पा जाओगी,
जब भी होगा घोर अंधेरा सूरज भी छिप जाएगा,
लेकर चंद्रमणि से रश्मि ज्ञान प्रभा बन जाओगी।”
― Dr. Shashi Vallabh Sharma, Muktak Shatak

“Call me not to quiet
I shall break the chains
With my ink
Bleeding brave.”
― Atif Khurshid Wani, The Shattered She

“Call me its successor
Of slippery little world
Hanging on the hedge
With moist rim eyes
I lay upon my couch
With confusing sleep
Of my stretched life.”
― Atif Khurshid Wani, The Shattered She

“Entangled in enmity
Within the bushes
With laid venom
In its hinterland.
Inside twirled in woods
The pines of frontier
Broken aghast
Grooves holding down
With crests I carry.
The coppice in heart
Carrying the burden
Of million hearts
Thicket as jungle
Dark as cave
I am with heavy heart.”
― Atif Khurshid Wani, The Shattered She
