With great care, the
top picks for wafa shayari have been put together. These are some heart wrenching shayari that will tug at your heart strings as you contemplate the rules of wafa in this world.
kuchh to majbūriyāñ rahī hoñgī
yuuñ koī bevafā nahīñ hotā
she would have had compulsions surely
faithless without cause no one can be
Rekhta
AI Explanation
In this couplet, the speaker softens a painful truth: if someone became unfaithful or left, there must have been some compulsion or helpless circumstance behind it. The line “Yun koi bewafa nahin hota” is not a factual claim so much as an emotional stance — refusing to reduce a complex human act to sheer cruelty. It carries empathy and self-protection at once: the lover tries to preserve the beloved’s dignity (and their own love) by imagining unavoidable pressures rather than deliberate betrayal.

tum ne kiyā na yaad kabhī bhuul kar hameñ
ham ne tumhārī yaad meñ sab kuchh bhulā diyā
you did not ever think of me even by mistake
and in your thoughts everything else I did forsake
You never remembered me at all, not even by accident.
In remembering you, I ended up forgetting everything else.
The couplet contrasts the beloved’s complete neglect with the lover’s total absorption. “Forgetting” and “remembering” become metaphors for emotional priority: the beloved cannot spare even an unintended thought, while the lover’s devotion is so consuming that it erases the rest of life. The ache lies in this unequal exchange—one side indifferent, the other self-effacing.
tum ne kiya na yaad kabhi bhul kar hamein

you did not ever think of me even by mistake
and in your thoughts everything else I did forsake

ham se kyā ho sakā mohabbat meñ
ḳhair tum ne to bevafā.ī kī
What could I really manage to do in love?
Anyway, you at least went and betrayed me.
The speaker admits helplessness and a sense of personal failure in love, as if they couldn’t fulfill what love demanded. In the second line, the tone turns sharply ironic: even if the speaker achieved nothing, the beloved did accomplish something—disloyalty. The contrast creates a bitter, wounded humor that highlights emotional imbalance and moral disappointment.

nahīñ shikva mujhe kuchh bevafā.ī kā tirī hargiz
gilā tab ho agar tū ne kisī se bhī nibhā.ī ho
nahin shikwa mujhe kuchh bewafai ka teri hargiz
gila tab ho agar tu ne kisi se bhi nibhai ho
bevafā.ī pe terī jī hai fidā
qahr hotā jo bā-vafā hotā
I sacrifice my heart upon your infidelity
were you faithful it would be a calamity
My life is devoted even to your unfaithfulness.
It would have been true torment if you had been faithful.
The couplet builds an ironic paradox: the lover is so accustomed to pain that even the beloved’s betrayal feels lovable and familiar. If the beloved were loyal, that would create a different, unbearable intensity—perhaps because true closeness would demand responsibility or expose the lover’s own helpless dependence. The emotional core is self-destructive devotion, where suffering has become the very form of love.
bewafai pe teri ji hai fida
qahr hota jo ba-wafa hota
I sacrifice my heart upon your infidelity
were you faithful it would be a calamity
My life is devoted even to your unfaithfulness.

mere alāva use ḳhud se bhī mohabbat hai
aur aisā karne se vo bevafā nahīñ hotī
mere alawa use KHud se bhi mohabbat hai
aur aisa karne se wo bewafa nahin hoti
uḌ ga.ī yuuñ vafā zamāne se
kabhī goyā kisī meñ thī hī nahīñ
Faithfulness has vanished from the world, as if it simply flew away.
It feels as though loyalty was never present in anyone to begin with.
The couplet laments a time when “wafā” (loyalty) seems to have disappeared entirely from society. The image of it “flying away” turns an abstract virtue into a fragile thing that cannot be held. The speaker’s grief hardens into disillusionment: not only is loyalty missing now, it seems like it was always an illusion. The emotional core is a bitter, resigned complaint about widespread unfaithfulness.

Even if you go, what will you really achieve with love and loyalty?
I have tested it again and again and have seen the result.
The speaker dismisses the beloved’s claims of affection, saying that “kindness and faithfulness” no longer change anything. Repeated trials have only confirmed the same outcome: betrayal or emptiness. The tone is weary and reproachful, as if hope has been exhausted. The metaphor is of an experiment tried many times, proving love’s promises unreliable.
