Tujh Ko Bad-ahd O Bevafa Kahiye — Dagh Dehlvi
तुझ को बद-अहद ओ बेवफ़ा कहिए
ऐसे झूटे को और क्या कहिए
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
You should be called a promise-breaker and faithless; after all, what else could one call such a liar?
Explanation
Here, the poet speaks from a place of helpless exasperation, caught in the familiar ache of being repeatedly let down by the beloved. Calling them faithless and a breaker of vows sounds like an accusation, but underneath lies the profound vulnerability of still caring too much. It is a tender, wounded reproach where irony masks the pain of loving someone who never keeps their word.
