1 Urdu couplets and shers with khamoshaan
khamoshaan(m): silence
Description of khamoshaan: Khamoshaan is an Urdu adjective meaning profoundly silent or steeped in deep, resonant quietude, evoking a hush filled with unspoken emotion or mystery. Unlike mere khamosh , it implies a thicker, more enveloping stillness that lingers poetically. Differs from sannata by carrying subtle, expressive undertones rather than stark emptiness. In Urdu poetry, khamoshaan nights whisper hidden sorrows, as in Ghalib's verses where it cloaks lovers' aching hearts.
1 / 1: khamoshaan
ye ghazal, ye rekhta
ye sher-khvaani phir kahaan?
when i, nazeer, go quietly
into the city of death
where will be this poetry,
this reciting of verses?
