1 Urdu couplets and shers with tareekh

tareekh(m): history, date

Description of tareekh: Tareekh is an Urdu word derived from Arabic, meaning "history" or "chronicle," often referring to recorded accounts of past events, especially in Islamic contexts like al-Tabari's renowned Tarikh al-Rusul wa al-Muluk, a comprehensive world history from creation to the Abbasid era. Unlike sana or tarikh in the calendar sense, it emphasizes narrative sequences of political, prophetic, and military developments rather than mere dates. Differs from riwayat, which denotes transmitted stories
