"Sar santey rookh rahe to bhi sasto jaan"

In Khejarli Massacre, Amrita Devi - a Bishnoi women and other local villagers hugged the trees while the soldiers of Maharajah Abhay Singh of Jodhpur did not stopped to chop them down along with the trees. At this stage Amrita Devi spoke these words :
"Sar santey rookh rahe to bhi sasto jaan"

(If a tree is saved even at the cost of one's head, it's worth it).
