Today's top 5 Urdu Shayari

ḳhātir se yā lihāz se maiñ maan to gayā

jhūTī qasam se aap kā īmān to gayā

for reasons of formality, I've chosen to believe

you have surely lost your faith when you so deceive

Interpretation: Rekhta AI

The speaker says he agreed not because he was convinced, but to maintain courtesy. The beloved tries to prove truth with a sworn statement, yet the oath is clearly false. That lie doesn’t just break trust; it exposes moral bankruptcy—‘imaan’ here stands for integrity and reliability. The couplet’s sting is that the other person “wins” the argument but loses honor.

KHatir se ya lihaz se main man to gaya

jhuTi qasam se aap ka iman to gaya

for reasons of formality, I've chosen to believe

you have surely lost your faith when you so deceive
