In cities like Karachi, 'Seen' is part of a wider vocabulary including 'Scene on hai' (Everything is good/The party is on). The rise of Instagram has made 'Seen Maarna' a daily activity for many, leading to a culture of 'aesthetic' photoshoots in public places. Pakistani weddings are the ultimate venue for 'Seen Maarna', where families compete to have the most lavish clothes and jewelry. The phrase is sometimes used by the middle class to poke fun at the 'Burgers' (Westernized elite) who show off their lifestyle.
Use it with 'Full'
To sound more native, add 'Full' (فل) before the phrase: 'Woh full seen maar raha hai!'
Don't use with elders
