हैंगओवा
Hangova is a playful desi spelling of 'hangover'. Beyond the morning-after haze of drinking, songs use it for the after-effect of a person — the feeling of someone that lingers long after they have gone.
A modern transliteration of the English word hangover into Hindi-Urdu song vocabulary — a recent borrowing rather than a classical term.
Where nasha describes the intoxication, this names the morning after. Its Englishness is deliberate and marks the song as contemporary and urban.
Loanwords like this are used for tone as much as meaning. Placed beside older Persian and Arabic vocabulary, they sound knowing and current.
