4 Urdu couplets and shers with aagahi

aagahi(f): awareness

Description of aagahi: The Urdu word aagahi means awareness, knowledge, information, or realization. It encompasses understanding and familiarity with a subject or situation. Unlike mere facts or data, aagahi implies a deeper comprehension and conscious recognition of something. Differs from ignorance or unawareness, aagahi represents an active state of knowing and being informed. In literary and poetic contexts, the word carries profound significance, often expressing spiritual awakening or enlightenment within classical Urdu verse
