1 Urdu couplets and shers with garan

garan: heavy

Description of garan: Garan is an Urdu adjective meaning heavy, weighty, or burdensome, often describing something substantial in mass or gravity. Unlike bhari, which can also denote fullness or abundance, garan emphasizes sheer physical or metaphorical heaviness. It differs from wazni, a more technical term for weighed measure, by conveying sensory or emotional load. In Urdu poetry, garan evokes profound sorrow, as in verses portraying hearts laden with grief.
