Urdu word of the week - Post 5

Here is this week's Urdu word:

بود
n.f
existence; being
bud

I've not come across this word myself and I probably need a Urdu expert, or atleast someone with a bit more grasp of the lingo, to help me out with creating a sentence. Someone reading this should know one! Help me!
Please feel free to provide any feedback for this theme. You can even introduce your own Urdu words or even make up sentences with the above word and blog about them on your own blog. Remember to post your links. Remember it's a Wednesday theme!
