آساں نہ سمجھیو تم نخوت سے پاک ہونا
Aasan na samjhiyo tum nakhwat se paak hona
اک عمر کھو کے ہم نے سیکھا ہے خاک ہونا
Ek umr kho ke hum ne seekha hai khaak hona.
~ Meer Hasan

There is nothing more beloved to Shaitan than the sadness of a believer.
Therefore, rejoice, be hopeful, remain optimistic, and think well of Allāh, so that you may enjoy peace of mind.

"Whoever wants to achieve something great must not seek to satisfy or please anyone but himself in his work: as soon as he fishes for the approval of others, it will not be anything great."
