4 Urdu couplets and shers with hazaaron
hazaaron: thousands
"Hazaaron" is an Urdu word meaning "thousands," derived from the Arabic "haz?r" for one thousand in its plural form. Unlike "ek hazaar," which denotes precisely one thousand, "hazaaron" conveys a vast, indefinite multitude. Differs from "hazaar" by emphasizing plurality and abundance rather than a singular quantity. In poetic usage, Mirza Ghalib employs it evocatively, as in the film title Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, symbolizing countless desires.
1 / 4: hazaaron
jo dil pe lagaa aa kar
ik dost ne maaraa hai
i endured countless stones
thrown at me
but the one that struck my heart
is the one thrown by a friend

bahut nikle mere armaan
lekin phir bhi kam nikle

but still just not enough

4 / 4: hazaaron
hazaaron lagzisheen hayal hain
lab tak jaam aane mein
yes, there is an ocean in my hand
but there is no assurance
so many wounds in my thoughts
before the cup reaches the lip
