Awaari/ Awari Meaning

Awaara is a word. Awaargi is a word. Awarapan didn't use to be a word, but now is. Awaari wasn't a word. It may become one.

Awaara, as mentioned in another post, 'means someone away from or without a family, someone who roams around without any work etc., a wanderer, vagrant.'

Now, though Awaari didn't exist (a female awaara was still called awaara only, as in, awaara ladka, and awaara ladki, though the word is much less used with the fairer gender), there is a song titled awaari in Ek Villain, written by Pakistani band Soch. The meaning of the word as they want it is clear. A lady who is awaara, that is a lady who is homeless, vagrant, wandered, with nowhere to go, is an Awaari.

Awara/ Awaara, Awaargi, Awarapan Meaning

Awaara [Hindi:आवारा,Urdu:آوارہ] is a Hindi/ Urdu word which means someone away from or without a family, someone who roams around without any work etc., a wanderer, vagrant.

Awaargi or Aawaargi is the word for such state of wandering, vagrancy. The word can be heard in many songs including the one titled 'Main aur Meri Awargi' (I and My Vagrancy) sung by Kishore Kumar and then Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Awargi is also the title of a famous ghazal sung by Ghulam Ali.

Awarapan would be a word with the same meaning as Awargi. As such, the word didn't really exist or at least used much until the movie Awarapan came up, as Awargi was the used form for the word. However, like one can add -ness to any adjective and create a noun, similarly in Hindi one can add -pan to many words and make nouns out of adjectives, like paagalpan from paagal. So here they have added -pan to Awara and made it awarapan. Wandererness, or Vagrantness if you will, or simply, Vagrancy.
