2 Urdu couplets and shers with ahbaab
ahbaab(m): dear ones, darling
Description of ahbaab: Ahbaab is a plural Arabic noun in Urdu, meaning friends, dear ones, or beloved companions. Unlike singular terms like dost , it conveys a collective intimacy among close associates. Differs from ham-ahbab , emphasizing profound emotional bonds rather than casual ties. In Urdu poetry, it evokes camaraderie, as in couplets lamenting friends sharing pulao at funerals.

2 / 2: ahbaab
lub oopar oopar hanste hain
dil andar andar rota hai
what use complaining of friends, when
what’s visible and hidden are different
their lips seem to smile
while they are weeping inside
