1 Urdu couplets and shers with khoon-chakaan
khoon-chakaan(m): blood-drenched
Description of khoon-chakaan: Khoon-chakaan is an Urdu adjective describing something dripping or oozing with blood, often evoking a vivid image of bleeding or blood-drenched state. Unlike mere bleeding, which implies a steady flow, it captures the slow, poignant dripping of blood drops. Differs from khuni, a general term for bloody or gory, by emphasizing the tactile sensation of blood trickling. In poetry, like Ram Krishn Muztar's ghazal, it portrays a heart's anguished cry:
1 / 1: khoon-chakaan
ungliyaan figaar apni
khaama khoon-chakaan apna
for how long will i write of my pain
maybe i should go show her
my wounded fingers
and my blood-drenched pen
