1 Urdu couplets and shers with poshaaken

poshaaken(m): clothes

Description of poshaaken: Poshaak , an Urdu word derived from Persian, means clothing, attire, or garments, referring to apparel in general. Unlike libaas , which emphasizes personal dress or garb, poshaak often highlights elaborate or culturally specific outfits. It differs from kapra , a colloquial term for fabric or simple cloth. In Urdu poetry, poshaak evokes regal splendor, as in verses depicting a beloved's silken poshaak shimmering like moonlight.
