1 Urdu couplets and shers with gaaoge

gaaoge: sing

Description of gaaoge: "Gaaoge" is the second person singular future tense form of the Hindi/Urdu verb "gaana," meaning "you will sing." Unlike its present form "gaaoge," which denotes habitual action, this conjugation promises singing at a future moment. Differs from the plural "gaaoge," as it specifically addresses one person intimately. In poetic Urdu ghazals, it evokes promises of melodic devotion, like "Tum gaaoge mere liye" .
