Har Waqt Hai Dushnaam Har Ek Baat Mein Taana — Momin Khan Momin
Meaning
At every moment he hurls insults and taunts in every word, and then on top of all this he claims that he says nothing at all.
Explanation
Here the poet gently complains about someone's behaviour. All the time there are insults, and every little remark carries a hidden taunt. The person constantly hurts you with their words. But then, after all this, they innocently claim that they said nothing at all, that they haven't spoken a single harsh word. The couplet captures a very human frustration we all recognize. Someone keeps criticizing and cutting you down, yet denies doing anything wrong. There is a quiet irony and tired smile in these lines, the feeling of dealing with a person who wounds you with words but refuses to admit it.
