1 Urdu couplets and shers with chamakti

chamakti: sparkle

Description of chamakti: Chamakti is the feminine form of the Hindi/Urdu adjective meaning "shining," "sparkling," or "glittering," often evoking a radiant glow. Unlike its masculine counterpart chamakta, which describes shining objects like stars or eyes, chamakti applies to feminine nouns such as evenings or jewelry. It differs from chanakti, which specifically suggests the tinkling sound of bangles. In poetry, like the song "Chamakti Shaam Hai" from Yaadein, it paints a glittering evening alive
