जो तुम्हारी तरह तुम से कोई झूटे वादे करता तुम्हीं मुंसिफ़ी से कह दो तुम्हें ए'तिबार होता
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

If someone had made false promises to you just like you do, tell me in all fairness, would you have trusted them?

Explanation

Here, the lover turns the tables on the beloved in the gentlest, most poignant way—not with anger, but with a quiet appeal to conscience. He asks the beloved to step into his shoes and admit honestly whether they could have endured and believed such repeated deceptions. It beautifully captures the ache of loving someone so much that you want to believe them, even while knowing their words are made of air.
