1 Urdu couplets and shers with neele

neele(m): blue

Description of neele: 'Neele' is an Urdu word meaning blue, often used to describe the color of the sky or deep waters. Unlike 'n?la', which is the standard Hindi term for blue derived from Sanskrit, 'neele' reflects a phonetic variation common in Urdu pronunciation. Differs from 'kab?tar?' or pigeon blue, as 'neele' denotes a pure, vivid azure hue. In Urdu poetry, it evokes melancholy, as in verses painting neele badalon symbolizing longing.
