1 Urdu couplets and shers with kalaam

kalaam(m): conversation, talk

Description of kalaam: Kalaam is an Urdu word denoting speech, discourse, or talk, often carrying connotations of eloquent or formal expression. Unlike casual guftgu, which refers to everyday conversation, kalaam implies a more structured or profound verbal exchange. Differs from baat, a general term for matter or talk, by emphasizing rhetorical or persuasive quality. In literary or poetic usage, it evokes divine speech, as in sufi ghazals praising the beloved's enchanting kalaam.
