1 Urdu couplets and shers with rail

rail(m): train

Description of rail: Rail in Urdu refers to a metal bar or track forming part of a railway system for trains. Unlike roads, which accommodate various vehicles freely, rails guide wheeled transport precisely along fixed paths for efficiency. Differs from paths like trams, as it supports heavy freight and high-speed passenger services globally. In Urdu poetry, rails evoke journeys of longing, as in verses depicting whistling trains piercing distant horizons.
