1 Urdu couplets and shers with jhiil
jhiil(m): lake
Description of jhiil: Jhiil is an Urdu noun referring to a large natural body of water surrounded by land, such as a lake or expansive pond. Unlike smaller talabs or ponds, it denotes a vast reservoir often formed naturally or artificially. Differs from dal dal, which specifically means marshy swamp or mud, though it can overlap in wet lowland contexts. In poetry, it evokes depth, as in "un jhiil s? gahr? ?ñkhoñ meñ"
