Topic: 'bevafaa/bevafaa_ii'

With love occupying such an important place in Urdu poetry, 
it would have been surprising if there hadn't been a large 
number of ashaar (couplets) on unfaithful lovers. Thanks 
to all of you who sent in your favourite ashaar on the topic 
of the week. Like always, some of the ashaar are well-known, 
popular whereas others are newer, less well-known. I hope 
you enjoy reading these. 

Before that, let me mention the topic for next week. The 
topic is 'zaahid'. You can e-mail me your favourite ashaar 
at moderator@urdupoetry.com or use the online form at

Please send in your contributions by November 28th. And now,
on to the topic of 'bevafaa/bevafaa_ii':
