Poetry Collection
Insincerity in love is a stark reality. It is, however, a reality that has caught the imagination of Urdu poets over all the ages and brought us close to appreciating the variety of conditions in love. While only the lover and the beloved are the subject of this poetry but they together unveil so much of human nature. You may like to have a look at this selection here.

ki mire qatl ke baa'd us ne jafa se tauba haae us zud-pashiman ka pashiman hona
after she had slain me then from torture she forswore alas! the one now quickly shamed was not so before this couplet highlights the tragic irony of a repentance that comes too late. ghalib mocks the beloved's nature of being 'quick to regret' (zood-pashemaan) because, in this specific instance, the decision to stop being cruel occurred only after the lover had already died from that very cruelty.
zulm phir zulm hai badhta hai to mit jaata hai khuun phir khuun hai tapkega to jam jaega
aise bigde ki phir jafa bhi na ki dushmani ka bhi haq ada na hua
she was so annoyed she did not even torment me in doing so denied what was due to enmity
jab bhi valid ki jafa yaad aai apne daada ki khata yaad aai
pahle rag rag se miri khuun nichoda us ne ab ye kahta hai ki rangat hi miri piili hai
qaaem hai ab bhi meri vafaon ka silsila ik silsila hai un ki jafaon ka silsila
jitni vo mire haal pe karte hain jafaen aata hai mujhe un ki mohabbat ka yaqin aur
more the cruelty from her that i receive more in her affection for me do i believe
zalim jafa jo chahe so kar mujh pe tu vale pachhtave phir tu aap hi aisa na kar kahin
o cruel one any torture, on me implement just refrain from actions which you may repent
shikva us but ke jafa ka jo kiya main to kaha tum to duniya men ho ik ahl-e-vafa tum ko kya
jafa par nahin jab vo dil hi men nadim nazar se nadamat ka izhar kyuun ho
lutf aane laga jafaon men vo kahin mehrban na ho jaae
i've started to enjoy her tortures by and by i hope she doesn't now decide to

un ki jafaon par bhi vafa ka hua guman apni vafaon ko bhi faramosh kar diya

ye chalan hain to tumhen hashr se denge tashbih log saffak kahenge badi rusvai hai
