3 Urdu couplets and shers with manzar

manzar(m): sight, view, scene

Description of manzar: Manzar is an Urdu word meaning a scenic view, vista, or picturesque sight, often evoking natural beauty or a captivating panorama. Unlike nazara, which emphasizes a mere glimpse or spectacle, manzar conveys a broader, more immersive landscape. It differs from tamasha, a term for a mere show or entertainment. In poetry, it symbolizes life's fleeting beauties, as in ghazals depicting love's horizons.

uTho ye manzar-e-shab-tab dekhne ke liye
