1 Urdu couplets and shers with bhaTakne

bhaTakne: straying, lost

Description of bhaTakne: 'BhaTakne' is an Urdu verb meaning to wander aimlessly, stray from the path, or go astray, often implying a sense of disorientation or deviation. Unlike mere walking, it conveys lost or purposeless movement through unfamiliar terrain. Differs from 'chalna' , as it emphasizes erring or missing the way. In poetry, like Mukesh's song "Main Rahi Bhatakne Wala Hoon," it evokes a nomadic, carefree wanderer's life.
