1 Urdu couplets and shers with gulfaam

gulfaam(m): roses

Description of gulfaam: Gulfaam is an Urdu word meaning a bouquet of flowers or a garland adorned with blossoms, often evoking beauty and fragrance in poetic contexts. Unlike a single bloom like gulab , it signifies an abundant, artfully arranged cluster. Differs from phool by implying elaborate decoration or tribute. In literature, poets like Ghalib use it to symbolize love's overflowing splendor, as in verses praising beloved's charm.
