1 Urdu couplets and shers with ghaTaon

ghaTaon(m): banks (of a river)

Description of ghaTaon: GhaTaon is the plural form of ghaTaa , referring to clusters, crowds, or dense gatherings of people or things in Urdu. Unlike bheer which denotes a disorganized throng, ghaTaon implies tightly packed, compact groups. Differs from jamaa'at by emphasizing huddled or bunched formations rather than organized assemblies. In Urdu poetry, it evokes bustling bazaar crowds or clustered stars in the night sky.
