1 Urdu couplets and shers with begaangi

begaangi(f): indifference, estranged

Description of begaangi: Begaangi is an Urdu word meaning estrangement, alienation, or the state of becoming a stranger to someone close. Unlike apnapan , which fosters emotional closeness, begaangi creates emotional distance and detachment. Differs from dushmani , as it implies quiet disconnection rather than open hostility. In Urdu poetry, like Faiz Ahmed Faiz's ghazals, it evokes the poignant loss of love turning into unfamiliarity.
