1 Urdu couplets and shers with bhaTak

bhaTak(m): stray, meander

Description of bhaTak: 'BhaTak' is an Urdu word meaning to wander aimlessly, deviate from the path, or lose one's way, often implying spiritual or moral straying. Unlike mere physical travel, it conveys disorientation and purposeless drifting. Differs from 'safar,' which denotes structured journeys, as bhaTak suggests?? without direction. In poetry, it evokes the soul's restless quest, as in bhajans where the devotee laments bhatak raha tha before divine grace.
