1 Urdu couplets and shers with faayda

faayda(m): use, value, benefit

Description of faayda: Faayda is an Urdu word meaning profit, benefit, or advantage, often denoting tangible or intangible gain from an action or investment. Unlike nuqsaan, which signifies loss or harm, faayda emphasizes positive outcomes in transactions or endeavors. Differs from faida in Hindi, as Urdu's form carries nuanced poetic undertones of moral or spiritual reward. In Urdu poetry, it evokes prosperity's fleeting grace, as in Ghalib's verses on love's hidden yields.
