Description of shaghl: Shaghl is an Urdu noun meaning occupation, business, employment, or any activity that keeps one busy or engaged. Unlike casual pastimes, it often implies purposeful labor or diversion from idleness. Differs from mere work by encompassing hobbies, studies, or even spiritual absorption like Sufi meditation. In Urdu poetry, shaghl evokes worldly distractions contrasting divine pursuits, as in Ghalib's verses on life's fleeting engagements.
