Qasam Bhi Khaa.i Thi Qur.an Bhi UThaya Tha — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
An oath was taken and the Quran was raised in pledge, yet today the very same denial has returned; just watch and see.
Explanation
This couplet captures the devastating sting of broken trust and fragile human promises. The poet reflects on how sacred vows—even invoking the holy Quran—were once sworn to prove sincerity, only to be cast aside today with cold, effortless denial. The quiet refrain of 'just watch and see' holds a heartbroken irony, where all one can do is helplessly stand by and witness the sheer audacity of betrayal.
