1 Urdu couplets and shers with yaadgaar

yaadgaar(m): mementos, relics

Description of yaadgaar: Yaadgaar is an Urdu word meaning memorable, unforgettable, or worthy of being remembered, often denoting something profoundly impactful. Unlike fleeting impressions that fade quickly, it evokes enduring significance etched in memory. Differs from mere 'yaad' , as yaadgaar implies a landmark event or person that shapes one's life indelibly. In poetry, it graces verses like those of Ghalib, immortalizing love's poignant scars.
