1 Urdu couplets and shers with bigaD

bigaD(m): destroyed, spoilt

Description of bigaD: BigaD is an Urdu word meaning to spoil, ruin, or go astray, often describing something that has turned bad or deteriorated. Unlike bigarna, which refers to physical breaking or twisting, bigaD implies moral or situational corruption. Differs from bigadna, its reflexive form used for self-deterioration like a person's character worsening. In poetry, it evokes lovers whose hearts bigaD under passion's sway.
