When Bano Qudsia said:

"Mohabbat ka milna ya haasil hojana zaroori nahi, Mohabbat ko zinda rakhna zaroori hai. Agly insaan ki izzat ka khayaal rakhna  zaroori hai. Beshuk wo bewafayi kar jaye lekin uski izzat ko uchala na jaye. Isliye zehni toor par kisi ki yaadon ke sahare jeena bhi mohabbat hai."
