1 Urdu couplets and shers with raqam

raqam(m): chronicle, money, amount

Description of raqam: Raqm is an Arabic word meaning "number," "digit," or "writing," derived from a root denoting marking or inscribing. Unlike mere numerals, it encompasses the act of scripting or notation in broader contexts. Differs from "khat" , which specifically denotes handwriting or calligraphy style. In poetry, it evokes numerical patterns in verse or symbolic inscription of fate.
