ghurbat(f): poverty, lowliness

Description of ghurbat: Ghurbat is an Urdu noun denoting the state of being far from home, such as through emigration, exile, or living abroad as a stranger, often evoking emotional isolation. Unlike mere physical travel, it encompasses profound disconnection from one's roots and familiarity. Differs from poverty, though sometimes linked, as its core is alienation rather than financial hardship. In poetry, it symbolizes longing, as in verses mourning unlived lives in diaspora.
