“At the first assault you may desert,
the way of love is the hard, strait way.
In truth I say, tell me the truth,
for this is the final moment of test.
'Love is a hard task-master who
will keep the whole world in unrest.
'And if you are false to your pledges here,
you'll pay the score on judgement-day.”
― Sant Singh Sekhon, Waris Shah

“Hir says, 'O mother, never can
an addict give up opium.
'I cannot live without this Ranjha,
inveterate habits know no cure.
'The tiger cannot live without flesh
with a tearing blow he earns his fare.
'Like taint of mango-juice or steel
the taint of love for ever remains.
'Heads may be felled, the love-disease
does not admit of remedy.
'I will respect your every wish.
but one wish I cannot obey.
'So is it willed by fate, indeed,
none can undo what fate ordains.
'For I got my Ranjha from the court of heaven,
God himself made me a gift of him.”
― Sant Singh Sekhon, Waris Shah
