1 Urdu couplets and shers with lahoo
lahoo(m): blood
Description of lahoo: Lahoo is an Urdu word meaning blood, referring to the vital red fluid circulating in the human body that carries oxygen and nutrients. Unlike plasma, which is the liquid component, lahoo embodies the essential life force in traditional contexts. Differs from "khoon," a more common synonym, by its archaic tone often evoking passion or sacrifice. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes intense emotion, as in verses depicting lovers' wounds spilling lahoo.
1 / 1: lahoo
jab aankh hi se na Tapka to
phir lahoo kya hai
that which courses through veins
i don't much care for
if it doesn't drip from the eyes
how can it be blood?
