1 Urdu couplets and shers with libaas
libaas(m): dress, apparel, attire
Description of libaas: Libaas is an Urdu word meaning "clothing" or "garment," referring to attire or dress in everyday or formal contexts. Unlike transient accessories like jewelry, libaas envelops and defines the body's form, serving both practical and symbolic roles. Differs from "kapra," a more colloquial term for fabric or basic garb, as libaas evokes elegance and cultural refinement. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes the soul's outer veil, as in Ghalib's verses likening
