1 Urdu couplets and shers with sharar

sharar(m): spark, ember

Description of sharar: Sharar is an Urdu word meaning spark, ember, or flame, often denoting a small flickering fire or the initial glow of ignition. Unlike a full blaze, it represents a subtle, nascent fire that can ignite greater passion or conflict. Differs from "aag," which signifies a raging fire, as sharar implies brevity and potential rather than sustained intensity. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes love's first stirrings or revolutionary fervor, as in
