1 Urdu couplets and shers with taabnaak
taabnaak: bright, shining
Description of taabnaak: Taabnaak is an Urdu adjective meaning bright, shining, radiant, or luminous, evoking intense brilliance and glow. Unlike dim or subdued lights that flicker faintly, taabnaak conveys a powerful, unwavering splendor that captivates. Differs from chamakdaar, which suggests mere sparkle or glitter, as taabnaak implies profound, enduring luminosity. In poetry, like Ghalib's sher, "char??h-e-r?hguzar laakh t?bn?k sah?," it contrasts roadside lamps' brightness with personal light brought home.
1 / 1: taabnaak
jala ke apna diya
raushni makaan mein la
lights of the street are surely
a thousand times brighter
but light your own lamp
and bring light into the house
