1 Urdu couplets and shers with hanuuz

hanuuz(m): still, yet

Description of hanuuz: Hanuuz is an Urdu adverb meaning "yet," "still," "just now," "at present," or "hitherto," often conveying something persisting up to the current moment. Unlike temporary English terms like "now," it emphasizes continuity from the past into the present without resolution. Differs from "abhi" by implying "up to this point" rather than immediacy alone. In poetry, like Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya's line "Hanuuz Dilli door ast," it evokes distant goals unmet.
