1 Urdu couplets and shers with samjhaane

samjhaane: to explain, clarify

Description of samjhaane: 'Samjhaane' is the Hindi-Urdu infinitive form of the verb meaning 'to explain,' 'to make understand,' or 'to persuade through reasoning.' Unlike 'sikhana,' which focuses on teaching skills or knowledge, it emphasizes clarifying concepts or advising. Differs from 'manana,' as it relies on logic rather than emotional coaxing. In poetic ghazals like Jagjit Singh's "Aaye Hain Samjhane Log," it evokes people futilely trying to reason with the lovesick.
