1 Urdu couplets and shers with rusvaaii
rusvaaii(f): dishonor
Description of rusvaaii: Rusvaaii is an Urdu noun meaning public disgrace, shame, or humiliation that tarnishes one's honor or reputation. Unlike temporary embarrassment, which fades quickly, rusvaaii implies lasting social stigma affecting family and community standing. It differs from personal guilt, as it centers on external judgment and loss of respect. In Urdu poetry, like Ghalib's ghazals, it evokes love's torment bringing inevitable societal ruin.
