1 Urdu couplets and shers with dhoom

dhoom(m): blast, noise, uproar

Description of dhoom: Dhoom is an Urdu word meaning a resounding blast, clamor, or tumultuous noise, often evoking explosive energy or uproar. Unlike quieter sounds like awaz , it conveys a powerful, chaotic burst that shakes the surroundings. Differs from dhamaaka by emphasizing auditory spectacle over physical destruction. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes life's fervent passion, as in verses depicting love's stormy rapture.
