Yaar Mera Bahut Hai Yaar-fareb — Mir Taqi Mir
यार मेरा बहुत है यार-फ़रेब
मक्र है अहद सब क़रार-फ़रेब
— Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
My friend, there is much deceit in this friendship; every promise is a deceitful illusion.
Explanation
This profound couplet captures the bitter realization of total disillusionment. Mir Taqi Mir suggests that the betrayal isn't limited to just one person; it's systemic. He observes that his friends are deceitful, but the deeper sorrow is that the very concept of a 'promise' (ahad) or commitment is inherently deceptive. It’s a poet's lament on the broken trust and the fragility of human relationships.
