फिर गई आप की दो दिन में तबीअ'त कैसी ये वफ़ा कैसी थी साहब ये मुरव्वत कैसी
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning

How did your feelings change in merely two days? Sir, what sort of loyalty was that, and what kind of regard or courtesy was this?

Explanation

In this couplet, the lover gently confronts the beloved with a blend of disbelief and bitter irony. It captures the ache of watching warm affection turn into utter indifference in just a matter of days, making one question if past promises were ever genuine. The clever use of the polite title 'saahab' adds a stinging chill, showing how formal and distant a once-intimate bond has suddenly become.
