1 Urdu couplets and shers with nazaara

nazaara(m): scene, panorama

Description of nazaara: Nazaara is an Urdu word meaning a beautiful sight, view, or scenic spectacle, often evoking admiration for natural or picturesque landscapes. Unlike mere visibility, it carries an aesthetic and emotional resonance, implying something captivating to behold. Differs from everyday "dekhna" , as nazaara emphasizes the splendor and worthiness of the panorama. In Urdu poetry, it graces ghazals like those of Ghalib, depicting love as an enchanting nazaara.

jalwa dikhaane ke liye

for the pleasure of watching
