1 Urdu couplets and shers with azmat

azmat(f): greatness, magnificence

Description of azmat: Azmat is an Urdu word derived from Arabic roots meaning greatness, majesty, or grandeur. Unlike izzat, which denotes honor or respect earned through conduct, azmat emphasizes inherent magnificence or vastness. It differs from shaan, a more casual term for splendor, by conveying profound dignity and awe. In Urdu poetry, azmat often evokes divine or imperial stature, as in verses praising a ruler's boundless azmat.
