1 Urdu couplets and shers with maamle

maamle(m): matters

Description of maamle: Maamle is an Urdu word meaning matters, affairs, or issues, often referring to worldly concerns or complications in daily life. Unlike masle, which specifically denotes problems or disputes, maamle encompasses a broader range of dealings and transactions. It differs from kaam, focused solely on work or tasks, by including interpersonal dynamics. In Urdu poetry, it evokes tangled human entanglements, as in Ghalib's verses on life's convoluted affairs.
