bahakna: to be drunk

Description of bahakna: Bahakna is an Urdu verb meaning to stray from the right path, become misguided, or speak incoherently due to intoxication, anger, or fever. Unlike bhatakna, which implies aimless wandering without moral connotation, bahakna suggests deviation influenced by temptation or delusion. It differs from phislna by emphasizing metaphorical or mental lapse. In poetry, as in Muzaffar Abdali's sher, "bahakna meri fitrat mein nahin," it conveys resisting innate urges.
