अभी हैं वो मिरे हमदम अभी हो जाएँगे दुश्मन नहीं इक वज़्अ पर सोहबत कभी यूँ है कभी वूँ है
— Bahadur Shah Zafar
Meaning

Right now they are my close companion, and the next moment they become an enemy. Our companionship never remains in one steady state; sometimes it is like this, and sometimes like that.

Explanation

The poet captures the dizzying, unpredictable nature of a relationship ruled by shifting moods. One moment brings tender closeness and deep affection, and the very next turns cold and combative. It is a heartfelt observation of human inconsistency, where love becomes an exhausting yet mesmerizing ride because the ground beneath it never stays still.
