vo zahr deta to sab ki nigah men aa jaata so ye kiya ki mujhe vaqt pe davaen na diin

tire vaadon pe kahan tak mira dil fareb khaae koi aisa kar bahana miri aas tuut jaae

muddat hui ik shakhs ne dil tod diya tha is vaste apnon se mohabbat nahin karte

zakhm laga kar us ka bhi kuchh haath khula main bhi dhoka kha kar kuchh chalak hua

baghhban ne aag di jab ashiyane ko mire jin pe takiya tha vahi patte hava dene lage

fasla nazron ka dhoka bhi to ho sakta hai vo mile ya na mile haath badha kar dekho

ham use yaad bahut aenge jab use bhi koi thukraega

aql kahti hai dobara azmana jahl hai dil ye kahta hai fareb-e-dost khate jaiye

aadmi jaan ke khata hai mohabbat men fareb khud-farebi hi mohabbat ka sila ho jaise

dhoka tha nigahon ka magar khuub tha dhoka mujh ko tiri nazron men mohabbat nazar aai

samjha liya fareb se mujh ko to aap ne dil se to puchh lijiye kyuun be-qarar hai

yaar main itna bhuka huun dhoka bhi kha leta huun

'khalid' main baat baat pe kahta tha jis ko jaan vo shakhs akhirash mujhe be-jan kar gaya

har-chand e'tibar men dhoke bhi hain magar ye to nahin kisi pe bharosa kiya na jaae

jin ki khatir shahr bhi chhoda jin ke liye badnam hue aaj vahi ham se begane begane se rahte hain

kis ne vafa ke naam pe dhoka diya mujhe kis se kahun ki mera gunahgar kaun hai

chaman ke rang-o-bu ne is qadar dhoka diya mujh ko ki main ne shauq-e-gul-bosi men kanton par zaban rakh di

aise mila hai ham se shanasa kabhi na tha vo yuun badal hi jaega socha kabhi na tha

kisi ka yuun to hua kaun umr bhar phir bhi ye husn o ishq to dhoka hai sab magar phir bhi

the couplet carries a resigned wisdom: lasting, complete belonging in love is rare, yet the heart keeps returning to it. calling beauty and love a “deception” points to their promise of fulfillment that often slips away. still, the repeated “yet even then” shows an unwillingness to stop hoping—despite knowing the truth. it captures the tug between clear-eyed disillusionment and stubborn desire.

ahbab ko de raha huun dhoka chehre pe khushi saja raha huun

ashiqi men bahut zaruri hai bevafai kabhi kabhi karna

ham use yaad bahut aenge jab use bhi koi thukraega

vafaon ke badle jafa kar rahe hain main kya kar raha huun vo kya kar rahe hain

aadmi jaan ke khata hai mohabbat men fareb khud-farebi hi mohabbat ka sila ho jaise

ik safar men koi do baar nahin lut sakta ab dobara tiri chahat nahin ki ja sakti

ahbab ko de raha huun dhoka chehre pe khushi saja raha huun
