1 Urdu couplets and shers with farak

farak(m): difference

Description of farak: 'Farak' is an Urdu word meaning difference, distinction, or disparity between two things. Unlike mere variation, it emphasizes a meaningful or essential contrast that sets entities apart. Differs from 'farq' in nuance, as 'farak' often conveys a subtle yet profound divergence in quality or essence. In poetry, it evokes emotional chasms, like in DIVINE's rap: "Thoda sa farak bhai," highlighting life's authentic divides.

1 / 1: farak

gham aur khushi meinfarak na mehsoos ho jaha

main dil ko us mukaam

pe laata chala gaya

where the difference between

joy and sorrow is not felt

i kept taking my heart to

that place again and again
