1 Urdu couplets and shers with qeemat

qeemat(f): price, esteem

Description of qeemat: Qeemat is an Urdu word meaning "price," "value," or "cost," referring to the monetary worth of goods, services, or assets. Unlike kimat, which often denotes market price in a commercial sense, qeemat carries broader connotations of intrinsic or estimated worth. It differs from qadr, which emphasizes honor or esteem beyond material measure. In Urdu poetry, qeemat evokes the priceless value of love, as in verses lamenting a beloved's inestimable worth.
