1 Urdu couplets and shers with ghilaaf
ghilaaf(m): covering, mask
Description of ghilaaf: Ghilaaf is an Urdu noun meaning integument, referring to a natural covering such as skin, peel, shell, or membrane that envelops or protects something. Unlike synthetic wrappers, it denotes organic layers like a seed's testa or an animal's hide. Differs from mere cloth as it implies an inherent, vital sheath in anatomy or botany. In Urdu poetry, ghilaaf evokes the soul's veiled essence, symbolizing hidden depths beneath life's outer shroud.
