2 Urdu couplets and shers with sitaare

sitaare(m): stars

Description of sitaare: 'Sitaare' is the Urdu plural form of 'sitaara,' meaning stars, referring to celestial bodies that illuminate the night sky. Unlike singular 'sitaara,' which denotes one star, 'sitaare' evokes multiplicity and vastness in the cosmos. Differs from 'taare,' a more poetic variant, by being the standard everyday plural in Urdu speech. In literature, poets like Ghalib use 'sitaare' to symbolize distant dreams or unfulfilled longing.
