dil se mat sarsari guzar ki 'ra.is' — Rais Amrohvi

"pahle bhi kharab thi ye duniya ab aur kharab ho ga.i hai"

"khamosh zindagi jo basar kar rahe hain ham gahre samundaron men safar kar rahe hain ham"

"kis ne dekhe hain tiri ruuh ke riste hue zakhm kaun utra hai tire qalb ki gahra.i men"

"sirf tarikh ki raftar badal ja.egi na.i tarikh ke varis yahi insan honge"

"pahle ye shukr ki ham hadd-e-adab se na baDhe ab ye shikva ki sharafat ne kahin ka na rakha"

"ham apni zindagi to basar kar chuke 'ra.is' ye kis ki ziist hai jo basar kar rahe hain ham"
