1 Urdu couplets and shers with baandhe

baandhe(m): tie

Description of baandhe: Baandhe is the Urdu verb form meaning "tie" or "fasten," often used for binding objects, hair, or turbans. Unlike loose knots that easily unravel, baandhe implies a secure, deliberate fastening. Differs from "baandhna," its infinitive root, as it conveys the action already performed in past or habitual tense. In poetry, it evokes imagery like "kamar b?ñdhe hue" for readiness, as in sher where companions gird loins for journey.
