1 Urdu couplets and shers with suunaa

suunaa(m): empty, desolate

Description of suunaa: Suunaa is an Urdu adjective meaning empty, deserted, desolate, or void, often evoking a sense of emotional or physical emptiness. Unlike bhara hua , it conveys profound absence and desolation in places or hearts. Differs from khaali , as suunaa implies a haunting, lifeless barrenness. In poetry, like Ghalib's verses, it laments solitude: "Mere mohalle ka aasman suunaa ho gaya hai."
