1 Urdu couplets and shers with raabte

raabte(m): connections, bonds

Description of raabte: Raabte is an Urdu word meaning a deep emotional connection, bond, or attachment, often romantic, evoking intimacy and longing. Unlike superficial acquaintances, it implies a profound, soul-stirring link that transcends physical proximity. Differs from mere friendship by carrying undertones of passionate destiny and unspoken understanding. In poetry, it symbolizes lovers' eternal threads, as in Ali Tariq's song where hearts align like stars.
