1 Urdu couplets and shers with sabaahat

sabaahat(f): freshness, morning

Description of sabaahat: Sabaahat , an Urdu word derived from Arabic, denotes beauty, grace, elegance, or handsomeness, often implying a refined and captivating charm. Unlike transient physical allure, it encompasses an enduring inner poise and aesthetic harmony. Differs from mere prettiness by evoking a noble, almost ethereal splendor. In Urdu poetry, it graces ghazals to portray the beloved's enchanting visage, as in verses likening dawn's glow to sabaahat.
