1 Urdu couplets and shers with palkon

palkon(m): eyelids

Description of palkon: Palkon refers to eyelashes in Urdu, symbolizing delicate beauty and protection for the eyes. Unlike mere facial hair, they poetically evoke intimacy and longing in lovers' gazes. Differs from eyebrows, which frame the face more boldly, as palkon flutter subtly like silken veils. In Urdu poetry, they shelter tears or hide shy glances, as in "palkon ki chhaon mein" .
