1 Urdu couplets and shers with khiDki

khiDki(f): window

Description of khiDki: Khidki is an Urdu word meaning "window," referring to an opening in a wall for light and air. Unlike a door, which serves primarily for entry and exit, khidki offers a passive view to the outside world. Differs from "darwaza," as it lacks functionality for passage, emphasizing observation over movement. In Urdu poetry, khidki symbolizes longing, evoking memories through moonlight or distant sights.
