Signification
To achieve a desired outcome or goal.
Contexte culturel
Success is often attributed to 'Tofigh' (divine favor). It's common to say 'Ba tavakkol be khoda movafegh shodam' (With trust in God, I succeeded). In Dari, 'Kamyab shodan' is used just as frequently as 'Movafegh shodan' for passing exams. Tajik Persian often uses 'Muvaffaq shudan' but may also use Russian-influenced structures in informal speech. Second-generation speakers often confuse 'succeed' with 'win' due to English influence, a phenomenon known as 'Finglish'.
The 'Dar' Rule
Always use 'dar' (in) when talking about the field of success (e.g., in business, in school).
Avoid 'Win'
Don't use this for winning a lottery or a race. That's 'shans' or 'bordan'.

The Subjunctive Link
When using it to mean 'managed to', the second verb must be in the subjunctive (e.g., موفق شدم *بروم*).
Humility
When someone says you were successful, it's polite to credit others or luck as well.
