1 Urdu couplets and shers with idraak

idraak(m): perception, enlightenment

Description of idraak: The Urdu word idraak means perception, understanding, or comprehension—the mental faculty of grasping knowledge and meaning. Unlike mere observation, which is passive reception of sensory information, idraak involves active cognitive processing and interpretation. Differs from memory, which stores past experiences, idraak represents the immediate act of understanding present reality. In literary and poetic contexts, idraak conveys profound insight or spiritual awakening, suggesting a deeper comprehension beyond surface-level awareness.
