1 Urdu couplets and shers with raaegaan
raaegaan(m): futile, in vain
Description of raaegaan: Raaegaan is an Urdu adjective meaning useless, fruitless, or in vain, describing efforts or actions that yield no result. Unlike bey-faydaa, which broadly implies worthlessness, raaegaan specifically evokes wasted potential or futile striving. It differs from beykar by emphasizing emotional or poetic loss rather than mere idleness. In poetry, like Faiz Ahmed Faiz's lines, it laments love's futile end: "Mumkin nahin ki faiz-e-junun raegan rahe."
