1 Urdu couplets and shers with sannaaTa
sannaaTa(m): silence
Description of sannaaTa: SannaaTa is an Urdu word denoting profound, oppressive silence or hush, often evoking a heavy, mournful quietude laden with emotional weight. Unlike mere khamoshi , sannaaTa implies a stifling, palpable void that engulfs the surroundings. Differs from husn by connoting desolation rather than grace in poetic imagery. In Urdu literature, it portrays the eerie stillness after loss, as in songs depicting separation's loneliness.
1 / 1: sannaaTa
is shahr ka har rahne vaala
kyun doosre shahr mein rahta hai
the sadness of the streets asks
the silence of the house says
why do all people of this city
live in some other city
