1 Urdu couplets and shers with bajaate

bajaate(m): tomakesound

Description of bajaate: 'Bajaate' is the present continuous form of the Hindi/Urdu verb 'bajana,' meaning to play a musical instrument or produce sound continuously. Unlike its literal sense of ongoing music performance, it carries a slang connotation of relentlessly beating or thrashing someone. Differs from 'bajao,' the imperative form urging immediate action, as 'bajaate' implies sustained effort. In poetry, it evokes rhythmic persistence, like drums beating through the night.
