2 Urdu couplets and shers with deewaana

deewaana: crazy

Description of deewaana: Deewana is an Urdu word meaning a person consumed by intense, often irrational passion or love, portraying someone as madly devoted or obsessed to the point of losing reason. Unlike mere infatuation, it implies a deeper, all-consuming emotional turmoil that overrides logic. Differs from "mohabbat," which denotes balanced affection, as deewaana evokes wild abandon. In poetry, like Ghalib's ghazals, it symbolizes the lover's ecstatic suffering.
