1 Urdu couplets and shers with ravayyon

ravayyon(m): behavior, mannerisms

Description of ravayyon: Ravayyon , plural of rivayat , refers to traditional narratives, legends, or customary tales passed down orally in Urdu-speaking cultures. Unlike written histories, which rely on documented evidence, ravayyon thrive on communal storytelling and embellishment over generations. Differs from folklore by emphasizing moral or cultural continuity specific to regional identities. In Urdu poetry, they evoke nostalgia, as in Faiz Ahmed Faiz's verses weaving ravayyon into themes of lost heritage.
