2 Urdu couplets and shers with barsar
barsar(m): at the top
Description of barsar: Barsar is an Urdu adverb meaning "above," "beyond," or "on top of," often denoting superiority, excess, or transcendence in position or degree. Unlike upar , which refers to basic vertical position, barsar implies something elevated or surpassing in a figurative sense. It differs from pare by emphasizing preeminence or overflow. In Urdu poetry, barsar evokes lofty emotions, as in Ghalib's verses portraying love transcending mortal bounds.
