1 Urdu couplets and shers with Daren

Daren: be afraid

Description of Daren: Daren is an Urdu word meaning to fear or be afraid, conveying a sense of dread or apprehension. Unlike khauf, which denotes intense terror, daren suggests a milder, lingering unease. It differs from dar by implying active trembling or visible fright rather than mere static fear. In Urdu poetry, like Ghalib's ghazals, it evokes the soul's quiver before divine mystery or love's torment.
