3 Urdu couplets and shers with fasaana
fasaana(m): story
Fasana is an Urdu word meaning a tale, story, or romantic narrative, often evoking wonder and emotion. Unlike a historical account, it emphasizes imaginative embellishment over factual precision. Differs from a simple kahani by its poetic flair and legendary quality. In literary usage, poets like Ghalib employ fasana to depict love's enchanting saga, as in song lyrics where one becomes the beloved's fasana.

nakaam-e-mohabbat ka
itna hi fasaana
joyless youth,
painless life
for those unsuccessful in love,
this is the only story

urooj jis ka ho
us ka zawaal hota hai
asar faridi, this is reality
not fable or fiction
whoever rises to the zenith
will surely have a fall

simTe to dil-e-aashiq
phaile to zamaana hai
this is the humble tale
of that one word: love
folded in, it is the lover's heart
spread out, it is the whole world
