1 Urdu couplets and shers with khush-fahmi
khush-fahmi(f): delusion, false hope
Description of khush-fahmi: Khush-fahmi is an Urdu word meaning delusion, false hope, or misconception, often referring to an overly optimistic belief detached from reality. Unlike bud-fahmi, which denotes sheer misunderstanding or ignorance, it specifically implies a self-deceptive optimism. It differs from gurbat by focusing on flawed perception rather than circumstance. In Zafar Kaleem's poetry, it evokes soaring aspirations that lose earthly grounding.
1 / 1: khush-fahmi
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
