1 Urdu couplets and shers with gaahe

gaahe: sometimes, often

Description of gaahe: Gaahe is an Urdu adverb meaning "sometimes," "at times," or "occasionally," derived from the root g?h indicating a single instance or moment. Unlike roz which denotes daily recurrence, gaahe suggests infrequent or sporadic timing. It differs from hamesha, implying constancy or always, by emphasizing intermittence. In poetry, as in the sher "qadr kho deta hai har roz ka aana jaana," it warns that occasional meetings preserve value.
