If you could, please format it

WORD, DEFINITION

I want to add them to a flashcard deck for myself, I casually collect loanwords and have been getting turned on to trying out csv/flashcards lately haha

Feel free to do the same, if the format is followed you can just copy and paste it to a new line of the csv deck

Fanaa: Used in both a spiritual and romantic sense. In Sufism, it means the annihilation of the self or ego, a total breaking free from the material world to achieve union with the divine. In romance, it implies a total surrender or losing oneself completely in the beloved.

Its very commonly used in poetry, particularly Sufi.

Also a very beautiful sound to the word. Urdu is honestly a very beautiful sounding language.
