sukuut(m): silence, peace

Description of sukuut: Sukuut is an Arabic word meaning silence or quietness, derived from the root letters s-k-t following the fuuul pattern. Unlike vocal expressions of dissent, it conveys a profound, unspoken restraint. Differs from mere absence of sound, as it implies intentional stillness laden with meaning. In Urdu poetry, sukuut often symbolizes deep emotion or contemplative pause, as in Ghalib's verses where unspoken words resonate powerfully.
