1 Urdu couplets and shers with khoj

khoj(m): search

Description of khoj: The Urdu word khoj means search or inquiry, referring to the act of seeking or investigating something. Unlike English "search," which emphasizes systematic methods, khoj carries a deeper sense of exploration and discovery. Differs from mere looking, khoj implies purposeful investigation with intellectual engagement. In literary and poetic contexts, khoj transcends physical searching to represent spiritual or philosophical quests, symbolizing humanity's eternal pursuit of truth and meaning.
