1 Urdu couplets and shers with kiran

kiran(f): ray

Description of kiran: Kiran is an Urdu word meaning a ray of light or beam, often symbolizing hope, enlightenment, or divine grace. Unlike broader terms like noor , it specifically denotes a single, piercing ray. Differs from shua , as kiran evokes a gentler, more poetic shimmer. In Urdu poetry, it frequently appears in ghazals, as in "Kiran-e-khurshid ne dil ko chhu liya" .
