1 Urdu couplets and shers with naap

naap(m): measure

Description of naap: Naap is an Urdu word meaning "measure," "measurement," or "dimension," often used to denote the act of gauging size, length, or quantity with a tool or standard. Unlike broader terms like haqeeqat , it specifically implies quantifiable assessment in practical contexts. Differs from andaaza , as naap emphasizes precise, tangible evaluation. In Urdu poetry, it evokes introspection, as in measuring life's fleeting joys against eternal longing.
