معنی
Fulfilling what one has pledged.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Pakistan, 'Zuban' (one's word) is a matter of immense pride. If someone says 'Meri zuban hai' (It is my word), it is considered as binding as a legal contract. Poets like Ghalib and Faiz often use the concept of 'Wafa' (loyalty) which is the act of 'nibhana' one's love despite the cruelty of the beloved. While modern contracts are used, many small business deals in bazaars are still done on a 'wa'da'. Keeping it is essential for future credit. The ultimate promise is the one made to the Creator. 'Nibhana' in this sense is a lifelong spiritual journey of truth.
Use 'Apna'
Adding 'Apna' (my/his/her own) before 'Wa'da' makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Past Tense 'Ne'
Remember that 'nibhana' is transitive. You must say 'Us ne nibhaya' not 'Wo nibhaya'.
