1 Urdu couplets and shers with figaar

figaar(m): wounded

Description of figaar: Figaar is an Urdu adjective meaning wounded, afflicted, or distressed, often describing emotional or physical injury. Unlike mere physical harm, it conveys a deeper sense of being crippled or lame in spirit. Differs from ghaayal, which strictly implies a battlefield wound, as figaar extends to psychological torment. In poetry, like Mir's verse, "mera gham se siina figaar hai," it evokes a heart-rent by grief.
