1 Urdu couplets and shers with peeDa

peeDa(m): pain

Description of peeDa: PeeDa is an Urdu word meaning profound mental or emotional pain, torment, or suffering, often arising from separation, loss, or unfulfilled longing. Unlike superficial distress, it penetrates the soul with enduring anguish. Differs from physical pain by being an intangible wound of the heart. In Urdu poetry, it evokes the lover's agony in ghazals by Ghalib, symbolizing love's bittersweet torment.
