main sach kahungi magar
1 / 1: Couplet
vo jhooT bolega aur
laajawaab kar dega
i will speak the truth
and yet be defeated
he will lie so smoothly
and leave me speechless

Interpretation
Shaayar Parveen Shakir seems to be suggest that truth often loses not because it is weak but because it refuses spectacle. The speaker anticipates defeat, knowing honesty lacks theatrical flourish. The lie, polished and confident, overwhelms through performance, not substance.
This reading reflects a social world where persuasion outruns integrity, and especially a feminine awareness that moral clarity does not guarantee being heard, believed, or protected within everyday emotional exchanges alone.
