1 Urdu couplets and shers with taameer

taameer(m): construct, rebuild

Description of taameer: Taameer is an Urdu word meaning construction, building, or development, often referring to the process of erecting structures or fostering growth. Unlike tameer , which denotes completion or fulfillment, taameer emphasizes active creation. It differs from insa , meaning reconstruction after ruin. In Urdu poetry, taameer symbolizes societal rebuilding, as in Faiz Ahmed Faiz's verses on national progress.
