2 Urdu couplets and shers with khamoshi
khamoshi(f): silence
Description of khamoshi: Khamoshi is an Urdu word meaning silence, quietness, or stillness, often conveying a profound absence of sound or speech. Unlike mere quiet, it implies a deeper, sometimes introspective hush that envelops surroundings. Differs from hush, as khamoshi carries emotional or poetic weight in South Asian contexts. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes unspoken longing, as in Faiz Ahmed Faiz's verses evoking silent suffering.

harfon ki zubaan aur hai
aankhon ki zubaan aur
the eloquence of silence
outweighs any expression
the language of words is one
the language of eyes is something else

haan bhari bazm mein
woh bol na paayi hogi
i do not concede silence is
the temperament of desire
yes, maybe she couldn’t
speak out in a crowded gathering
