1 Urdu couplets and shers with qurbatein

qurbatein(f): closeness

Description of qurbatein: Qurbatein is an Urdu word meaning closeness, proximity, or intimate nearness, often denoting emotional or physical bonds between people. Unlike physical distance measured in space, it emphasizes relational intimacy and affinity. Differs from qurbat , as the plural form evokes multiple layers of connections or relationships. In poetry, it poetically signifies tender affections drawing souls nearer, as in ghazals lamenting lost intimacies.
