1 Urdu couplets and shers with nuqoosh
nuqoosh(f): imprints, marks
Description of nuqoosh: Nuqoosh refers to impressions, marks, or traces that are transient or fleeting, often evoking the ephemeral nature of past events or worldly conditions. Unlike permanent engravings, nuqoosh fade with time, symbolizing impermanence. Differs from enduring sculptures, as it implies subtle, vanishing imprints on the soul or memory. In Urdu poetry, poets like Ghalib use nuqoosh to depict life's fleeting beauties, as in verses mourning lost loves' fading echoes.
1 / 1: nuqoosh
aane vaale kaarwaan ke
raahnuma ban kar chalo
leave the marks of your memories
on every path you tread
walk as a guide
for caravans that follow
