1 Urdu couplets and shers with jazeere

jazeere(m): islands

Description of jazeere: Jazeere is an Urdu word derived from Arabic, meaning "island" or "peninsula," often evoking isolated landmasses surrounded by water. Unlike continental expanses, it specifically denotes a detached or peninsular terrain rising amid seas. Differs from "dweep" by implying a larger, bridge-like protrusion into the ocean. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes solitude, as in verses depicting lovers adrift on jazeere-like hearts.
