1 Urdu couplets and shers with faaltu

faaltu(m): useless, pointless

Description of faaltu: Faaltu is an Urdu word meaning something useless, unnecessary, or superfluous, often denoting idle chatter, excess baggage, or pointless activity. Unlike bekaar, which implies complete worthlessness or incompetence, faaltu specifically highlights redundancy without total failure. Differs from zaroori by representing the exact opposite—non-essential elements discarded in efficiency. In Urdu poetry, it evokes fleeting vanities, as in verses lamenting life's faaltu pursuits amid eternal truths.
