1 Urdu couplets and shers with vaaye
vaaye(m): alas
Description of vaaye: Vaaye is an Urdu word meaning exaggerated or boastful speech, often referring to empty talk or tall tales. Unlike bakwas, which denotes general nonsense, vaaye specifically implies pompous bragging without substance. It differs from afsana, a structured fictional story, by capturing casual, inflated verbal posturing. In Urdu poetry, poets like Ghalib use vaaye to mock insincere lovers' hyperbolic promises of devotion.
1 / 1: vaaye
aasmaan chuune ki khwaahish mein
zameen se bhi gaye
alas, our delusion soared
beyond the flight of reality
in the desire to kiss the sky
we lost touch with the ground
