3 Urdu couplets and shers with fariyaad

fariyaad(m): prayer, plea, plaint

Description of fariyaad: Fariyaad is an Urdu word meaning "complaint" or "plea," expressing a deep emotional cry or lament directed toward someone, often God. Unlike ordinary requests, fariyaad carries profound sorrow and desperation, emerging from inner anguish. Differs from simple grievance, it represents an intimate, heartfelt appeal rooted in suffering. In literature and poetry, fariyaad conveys unspoken pain—a suppressed cry buried within the soul, resonating through classical and contemporary artistic expressions.

1 / 3: fariyaad

dil jalta hai to jalne deaansu na baha, fariyaad na kar

tu parda-nasheen ka aashiq hai

yuun nam-e-wafa barbaad na kar

if the heart burns, let it burn

do not shed tears, do not complain

you are in love with someone hidden

do not waste the name of loyalty like this
