Only brave warriors fall off their horses in battle. How can kneeling cowards know what a fall is?"

Is that from the Bhagavad Gita?

No, that's a famous piece of Urdu poetry. Can't remember the poet's name at the moment..

Anwar is right. It can't be from the Gita cause the Gita is in Sanskrit. I don't remember the entire quote but it had something like "Mehfil-e-Jung" in it. Mehfil is an Urdu word not a Sanskrit word.
