1 Urdu couplets and shers with mukaam
mukaam(m): place
Description of mukaam: Mukaam is an Urdu word meaning a place, location, or destination, often denoting a stopping point or station in a journey. Unlike manzil, which specifically refers to the final destination or ultimate goal, mukaam implies an intermediate halt. Differs from jagah, a more general term for any spot or area, by carrying connotations of purposeful arrival. In Urdu poetry, it evokes transient pauses in life's voyage, as in Ghalib's verses
1 / 1: mukaam
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
