1 Urdu couplets and shers with kaandhon

kaandhon(m): shoulders

Description of kaandhon: Kaandhon is the oblique plural form of the Urdu word kandha, meaning "shoulders," often used to denote both shoulders collectively in phrases like "on the shoulders." Unlike kandhe, which is the direct plural nominative form, kaandhon appears in postpositions requiring oblique case, such as carrying loads. Differs from peeth , as it specifically references the upper body supports. In poetry, it evokes imagery of burdens or unity, as in song
