1 Urdu couplets and shers with furqat

furqat(f): separation

Description of furqat: Furqat is an Urdu word meaning separation, parting, or longing due to absence, often evoking emotional distance from a loved one. Unlike hikayat, which denotes a narrative tale, it captures a poignant sense of disconnection. Differs from judai, as furqat emphasizes aching yearning over mere physical split. In Urdu poetry, like Ghalib's ghazals, it portrays the soul's torment in lover's exile.

1 / 1: furqat

shab-e-furqat ka jaaga hoonfarishton, ab to sone do

kabhi fursat mein kar lena

i’ve been awake the night of separation

oh angels, let me get some sleep

when we get some free time

we’ll settle the accounts, slowly, slowly
