“Indeed, on close inspection one sees that by far the greater number of educated people still desire convictions from a thinker and nothing but convictions, and that only a small minority want certainty. The former want to be forcibly carried away in order thereby to obtain an increase of strength; the latter few have the real interest which disregards personal advantages and the increase of strength also. The former class, who greatly predominate, are always reckoned upon when the thinker comports himself and labels himself as a genius, and thus views himself as a higher being to whom authority belongs. In so far as genius of this kind upholds the ardour of convictions, and arouses distrust of the cautious and modest spirit of science, it is an enemy of truth, however much it may think itself the wooer thereof.”

“KASHISH Kisi nazar mein kashish aisi, ke dil thehar jaye Chahne wale ka har zakhm, khud sanwar jaye Yeh jo lams hai tera, yeh jadoo ka raaz sa Dil ki veeran galiyon mein roshni bhar jaye Teri baaton ka asar dil pe utarta aisa Har khayal, har dua tujh pe hi thehar jaye Yeh mohabbat hai ya koi khwab ka dhoka Jo bhi mile, wohi khwahish ban ke bikhar jaye Meri har saans mein, tere wujood ka ehsaas Mere dil ka har dukh, tere qadam par mar jaye Kisi nazar mein kashish aisi, ke sab bhool jayein Dil ke har goshe mein tu hi tu thehar jaye”

“Qatil hun main khud jazbaat ka meray” Qatil hun main khud jazbaat ka meray, Har din karta hun qatl apni baat ka meray. Jo dil ke kone mein chhupa dukh tha, Aaj ban gaya hai shor hayaat ka meray. Meri har khushi ko main khud mitata raha, Qareeb na aaya koi bhi saath ka meray. Mohabbat ka diya khud hi bujhaya maine, Kya gila karun ab kisi firaaq ka meray? Har dafa main khud hi chor ban jata hun, Shikayat kaisi ho kisi ilzaam ka meray? Qatil hun main khud jazbaat ka meray, Har din karta hun qatl apni baat ka meray.”
