Description of baalon: Baalon is an Urdu word meaning hair, typically referring to the natural growth on the human head or body.

Differs from lal , sharing no phonetic or semantic overlap despite superficial similarity. In Urdu poetry, baalon evokes beauty, as in Ghalib's verses likening tresses to midnight
