- Tell me, enigmatic man, whom do you love the best? Your father, or your mother, or your sister, or your brother?
- I have neither father, nor mother, nor sister, nor brother.
- Your friends?
- You are using a word whose meaning remains unknown to me to this very day.
- Your country?
- I do not know under what latitude it lies.
- Beauty?
- I would love her gladly, goddess and immortal.
- Gold?
- I hate it as much as you hate God.
- Well then! What do you love, extraordinary stranger?
- I love the clouds... the passing clouds... over there... over there... the marvelous clouds!
Take me home, rickshaw,
You know my address. You should.
Everyone should know it by heart.
I am Humayun Azad, a poet.
...
- বলো আমাকে, রহস্যময় মানুষ, কাকে তুমি সবচেয়ে ভালোবাসো? তোমার পিতা, মাতা, ভ্রাতা অথবা ভগ্নীকে?
- পিতা, মাতা, ভ্রাতা, ভগ্নী- কিছুই নেই আমার।
- তোমার বন্ধুরা?
- ঐ শব্দের অর্থ আমি কখনো জানিনি।
