1 Urdu couplets and shers with Tapka

Tapka(m): drip, drop

Description of Tapka: Tapka is an Urdu word meaning a drop or drip, often referring to a small falling droplet of liquid like water or sweat. Unlike tapakna, which is the verb form denoting the action of dripping, tapka emphasizes the noun itself. Differs from tapka re tapka, a playful Hindi song lyric implying rhythmic dripping or falling. In poetry, it evokes tender imagery of tears tapka-ing from eyes in longing.
