khaamoshi(f): silence

Description of khaamoshi: Khaamoshi is an Urdu word meaning silence or quietness, often denoting a profound absence of sound or stillness. Unlike mere noiselessness, it carries emotional depth, implying restraint or unspoken tension. Differs from sukoon, which suggests peaceful calm, as khaamoshi can evoke isolation or suppressed feelings. In poetry, it symbolizes introspective longing, as in Ghalib's verses where silence mirrors unvoiced grief.
