1 Urdu couplets and shers with sambhalte

sambhalte(m): balance, correct

Description of sambhalte: Sambhalte is the present participle masculine form of the Urdu verb sambhalna, meaning "to manage," "to handle," or "to hold steady" in the sense of maintaining control or composure. Unlike passive endurance, it implies active steadiness amid challenges. Differs from pakadna , as it conveys emotional or situational balance. In poetry, it evokes resilience, as in "haathii kii Takkar haathii hii sambhaale," where only an elephant handles an elephant's clash.
