1 Urdu couplets and shers with lafzon

lafzon(m): words

Description of lafzon: Lafzon is the Urdu plural form of lafz, meaning "words" or "utterances," often denoting spoken or written expressions laden with emotion. Unlike single lafz that conveys isolated ideas, lafzon evokes a cascade of interconnected phrases. Differs from mere vocabulary by implying poetic depth and nuance in communication. In literature, poets like Ghalib use lafzon to weave intricate ghazals expressing unspoken love and longing.
