1 Urdu ash'ar / shaayari (shers, couplets) containing the word:
adnaa does not always mean worthless. Very often it carries humility rather than contempt. Something adnaa may appear small on the surface but can hold depth, irony, or hidden magnitude, especially in poetry.
In verse, adnaa is frequently paired with something vast to create contrast. A small word, a minor act, a humble beginning that quietly contains a universe.
