1 Urdu couplets and shers with farq

farq(m): difference

Description of farq: Farq is an Urdu word meaning difference, distinction, or disparity, often denoting a contrast between two things or states. Unlike similarity, which implies resemblance, farq highlights separation or variation in qualities. It differs from mere change by emphasizing comparative divergence, such as in opinions or amounts. In poetry, farq evokes emotional gaps, as in Ghalib's verses contrasting love's unity and inevitable parting.
