afkaar(m): thoughts, concerns
Description of afkaar: Afkaar , plural of fikr in Urdu, refers to thoughts, ideas, or reflections, often denoting profound or contemplative mental processes. Unlike superficial notions that fleetingly cross the mind, afkaar implies deliberate, introspective deliberations shaped by intellect and emotion. Differs from khayalat , which are imaginative fantasies or whims, as afkaar are grounded in reason and reality. In Urdu poetry, afkaar evoke melancholic musings on love and existence, as in Ghalib's
