chubhan(m): piercing, stinging

Description of chubhan: Chubhan is an Urdu word meaning a sharp, stinging pain or pricking sensation, like that from a needle or thorn. Unlike a dull ache that lingers broadly, chubhan delivers an acute, localized jab. Differs from kharash, which implies scratching itchiness, as chubhan evokes piercing intensity. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes emotional pangs, as in Ghalib's verses likening heartbreak to thorns piercing the soul.
