1 Urdu couplets and shers with bezubaan

bezubaan(m): voiceless, speechless

Description of bezubaan: Bezubaan is an Urdu word meaning "voiceless" or "speechless," describing someone unable to express themselves or lacking a voice to speak. Unlike "khaamosh," which simply means silent, bezubaan carries deeper emotional weight, suggesting helplessness and suppression. Differs from "goongi," which refers to literal muteness, bezubaan implies emotional or circumstantial inability to voice thoughts. In Urdu poetry and literature, the word evokes profound melancholy, often depicting lovers unable to confess feelings
