1 Urdu couplets and shers with ufff

ufff(m): exclamation of intensity

Description of ufff: 'Ufff' is an Urdu interjection expressing exasperation, frustration, or overwhelming emotion, often akin to a sigh of dismay. Unlike English 'ugh,' which conveys mere disgust, 'ufff' carries deeper cultural weight of emotional turmoil or irritation. Differs from 'uff' in German or Polish, which primarily signals physical tiredness or relief. In Urdu poetry, it evokes longing or heartache, as in Ghalib's verses lamenting love's torment.
