navishta: decree, written, inscription

Description of navishta: Navishta is an Urdu word meaning "written," "inscribed," or "decree," often denoting something penned or fated in script. Unlike oral traditions preserved through recitation, navishta emphasizes permanence in written form. Differs from "naqsh," which implies an etched design or impression, by specifically connoting textual inscription. In Urdu poetry, Bashir Badr uses it as "taqdeer ka navishta" to defy destiny's scripted fate.
