3 Urdu couplets and shers with faisla

faisla(m): decision

Description of faisla: Faisla is an Urdu word meaning "decision" or "judgment," representing a definitive choice or conclusion reached after deliberation. It carries the weight of finality, suggesting a determination that settles a matter conclusively. Unlike the English word "decision," which can be tentative or reversible, faisla implies an authoritative and binding resolution. Differs from "choice" in that faisla emphasizes the gravity and consequence of the determination rather than mere selection among options.
