Tere waade hawa ho gaye,
tera saath bewafa.
Chaha itna tumne,
par dil tumhara chura liya kisi ne.
Bewafai ne sikha diya,
ab main khud pe bharosa karta hoon.
Dil toda gaya,
par usi se seekh mili khudi ki kadar karne ki.
Tum wafa ke waade karte the,
waqt ne sab dikhaya.
Mohabbat thi sacchi,
par tum bewafa sabit hue.
Teri yaadon ne dhokha diya,
par main zinda hoon.
Jo saath chhoda woh raaste badal gaye,
par main aage badh gaya.
Bewafai ka dard aansuon se
zyada khaali pan hota hai.
Aankhon mein sawal hai,
labon pe khamoshi — tum bewafa kyu?
Tum chale gaye,
par tumhari kami roz barhti hai.
Kisi ne sikhaya — wafa ki qadr
unko nahi jo wafa nahi karte.
Tumne hansi mein kaha “bye”,
par dil toda ek hi lie.
Bewafai ne dikhaya,
asli chehra waqt pe milta hai.
Dil ne bharosa kiya,
zindagi ne dhoka diya.
Tere piche bhaagna ab
meri aadat nahi.
Mohabbat ki kimat tumne khud ghatadi.
Har bewafa kahani se seekh nikalti
hai — khud se pyaar.
Tumhari yaadein ab dard nahi,
sirf lesson hain.
Jo humesha chhode woh rishte
kabhi nahi jeet te.
Tum bewafa sahi,
par mere liye waqt barbaad hue.
Wafa sirf lafz nahi,
kaam mein bhi chahiye hoti hai.
Ab tere bina jeena seekh gaya hoon,
shukriya bewafai.
Tumne jo chhoda,
woh meri azadi ban gaya.
Bewafai ka jawaab waqt deta hai,
fikar mat karo.
Mere armaan rook gaye,
par main khud ko sambhal lo.
Jo bewafa thhe,
unke liye dil band.
Pyaar diya tha,
badle mein khud ko kho diya.
Ab har nayi muskurahat
ek naya iraada hai.
Bewafai ne tod diya,
par mujhe mazboot banana bhi sikhaya.
Bewafai means disloyalty, but in Urdu poetry it has always meant something larger: the shock of discovering that a promise was only a mood. Classical poets treated the faithless beloved as a character as old as the ghazal itself, half villain, half mirror.
These verses stay on the bruised side of heartbreak — not rage, but the slow arithmetic of 'when did it change?' If you are here at midnight, read them once, let them say what you could not, and then close the screen and drink some water.
Editor's picks: original bewafai couplets
Wafa ke naam pe unhone kayi dastaanein sunayin,
Bas ek sach batane mein unhe dair lag gayi.
A fluent storyteller undone by one honest sentence.
Bichhadne ka gham to sah liya humne,
Wajah jo batayi, wahi sabse zyada chubhi.
The excuse hurt more than the exit.
Tumne jo chhoda wo rishta nahi, mera yaqeen tha,
Rishte to phir bhi ban jaate hain.
What cannot be rebuilt is trust, not the relationship.
Ab shikayat bhi kis se karein,
Jis se karni thi wo to khud shikayat ban gaya.
When the complaint and the complainee merge.
