2 Urdu couplets and shers with faani
faani(f): mortal, transient
Description of faani: Faani is an Urdu adjective meaning transient, perishable, or mortal, denoting that which is subject to death or impermanence. Unlike baqi , it underscores the fleeting nature of worldly existence. Differs from azal , as faani pertains solely to finite, temporary states. In poetry, like Ghalib's ghazals, it evokes life's ephemerality against divine eternity. It holds strong cultural and emotional significance in Urdu literature, poetry, and everyday expressive language.
