Description of pinjre: Pinjre is an Urdu word meaning a cage or birdcage, often symbolizing confinement or captivity. Unlike a simple enclosure, it evokes emotional restraint and longing for freedom. Differs from "qaid" , as pinjre specifically implies a delicate, barred structure for birds. In poetry, it appears in phrases like "pinjre ke panchhi" to depict souls trapped yet yearning to soar.
