1 Urdu couplets and shers with sitaara

sitaara(m): pointer, asterisk

Description of sitaara: Sitaara is an Urdu word meaning "star," referring to a celestial body that shines brightly in the night sky. Unlike earthly lights such as lamps or fires, sitaara gleams with a distant, ethereal sparkle symbolizing hope and guidance. Differs from "taara," its Hindi synonym, sitaara carries a more poetic resonance in Urdu literature. In ghazals and poetry by Ghalib, it evokes metaphors for beauty, fame, or unrequited love.
