Nahin Hai Jins-e-vafa Ki Tumhen Jo Qadr Na Ho — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
Even if you do not value the commodity of loyalty, just wait and watch how many buyers will come forward to seek it.
Explanation
Here, the poet frames love and loyalty not as a desperate plea, but as an exquisite, rare treasure ('jins-e-wafa') that the beloved is foolishly taking for granted. Instead of wallowing in heartbreak, the speaker shows quiet self-respect and gentle defiance. The couplet warmly reminds us that unappreciated devotion does not lose its worth; soon enough, a world starved of true sincerity will line up seeking what was so casually dismissed.
