1 Urdu couplets and shers with faash

faash(f): reveal, expose

Description of faash: Faash is an Urdu word meaning vulgar abuse, obscene language, or profanity, often used to describe foul-mouthed speech or cursing. Unlike polite insults that maintain decorum, faash involves crude, sexually explicit terms designed to degrade. Differs from simple gaali by its raw obscenity and intent to shock. In Urdu poetry, it evokes gritty street realism, as in Mirza Ghalib's verses depicting societal vice.
