3 Urdu couplets and shers with guzaari

guzaari: spent, transpired

Description of guzaari: Guzaari is an Urdu word meaning "passed" or "spent," often referring to time endured in longing or hardship, as in nights spent in love's torment. Unlike bitayi, which implies casual passage, guzaari evokes emotional struggle and endurance. Differs from guzaarna, its verbal form meaning "to pass through," by emphasizing reflective aftermath. In poetry, like Aditya Rikhari's "Raatein Guzaari," it poignantly captures sleepless nights of heartache.
