1 Urdu couplets and shers with bhanwar

bhanwar(m): vortex, whirlpool

Description of bhanwar: Bhanwar is an Urdu word meaning a swirling whirlpool or vortex in water, evoking powerful circular currents that draw objects inward. Unlike a straight-flowing river, it creates a hypnotic, inescapable spin symbolizing chaos. Differs from a mere eddy, as bhanwar implies deeper, more perilous turbulence. In Urdu poetry, it often metaphors life's entangling dilemmas or passionate love's dizzying pull.
