1 Urdu couplets and shers with garebaan
garebaan(m): collar of robe
Description of garebaan: Garebaan is an Urdu word meaning a collar, cape, or the opening at the breast of a garment, often figuratively referring to the neck. Unlike a full sleeve that covers the arm, garebaan specifically denotes the neckline area. Differs from the cuff, which is the wrist-end of a sleeve. In poetry, it symbolizes vulnerability, as in "gireb?n pakarn?," grasping someone's collar in confrontation or passion.
1 / 1: garebaan
vahi ye haath hain jin mein
kisi ka daaman tha
what wonder if i rip apart
the rags of my robe
for these very hands once
held the hem of my beloved
