2 Urdu couplets and shers with hansta
hansta: smiling, laughing
Description of hansta: Hansta is an Urdu word meaning a smiling or laughing face, often evoking joy and cheerfulness. Unlike somber expressions that convey sadness, hansta radiates warmth and delight in everyday interactions. Differs from formal laughter, as it suggests a gentle, continuous smile rather than bursts of hilarity. In Urdu poetry, hansta frequently symbolizes love's enchanting beauty, as in classic ghazals where a beloved's hansta hua chehra captivates the heart.
