1 Urdu couplets and shers with baharaan

baharaan(m): spring

Description of baharaan: 'Baharaan' is an Urdu word meaning the spring season, evoking renewal, blooming flowers, and vibrant nature. Unlike harsh winters that bring barrenness and cold, it heralds warmth and lush greenery transforming landscapes. Differs from summer's intense heat, offering mild breezes and colorful blossoms instead. In poetry, it symbolizes love's awakening, as in Ghalib's verses likening romance to spring's joyful revival.
