1 Urdu couplets and shers with naqsha

naqsha(m): map, diagram, plan

Description of naqsha: Naqsha is an Urdu word meaning a map, diagram, or detailed plan, often used to represent geographical layouts or schematics. Unlike a simple sketch, it implies precision and scale for navigation or design. Differs from 'tasweer', which denotes a picture or image, as naqsha focuses on functional representation. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes life's intricate journey, as in Faiz Ahmed Faiz's verses mapping emotional terrains.

if a picture is drawn by
