I am also an Afghan and you ought to pre- serve the honour of the Afghans. I have a body of tiventy thousand Afghans with me , while another body of forty thousand Afghans is ready on the other side of the Ganges to serve you. You may come here without any hesitation.

— Najib ad-Dawlah

More quotes by Najib ad-Dawlah

All these troubles have been inflicted upon all our men by the hands of the infidel Marathas. You are the Emperor of the Muslmans and you should, therefore, take steps to put a stop (to this highhandedness)”.

“In the hope of getting your help I shall have fallen into the hands of the Maratha infidels. It is very likely that very soon the Afghans would be exterminated in spite of there being an Afghan Emperor. So long as I am alive, I will not hesitate from risking my life and killing the infidels*”.
