2 Urdu couplets and shers with ishaare

ishaare(m): signs, gestures

Description of ishaare: Ishaare means "gestures" or "signals" in Hindi and Urdu, referring to subtle expressions, hints, or non-verbal communication that convey meaning without words. Unlike explicit statements or direct speech, ishaare operates through implication and understated indication. Differs from mere body language, as it encompasses emotional undertones and cultural nuance. In literary and poetic contexts, ishaare captures those ineffable moments where unspoken feelings resonate more powerfully than articulated words, creating profound connection
