1 Urdu couplets and shers with tahreek

tahreek(m): urge, incitement

Description of tahreek: Tahreek is an Urdu word meaning "movement," "campaign," or "initiative," often denoting organized efforts for political, social, or religious change. Unlike static ideologies, it implies dynamic action and mobilization toward a cause. Differs from "andolan" by emphasizing structured, purposeful drives rather than mere unrest. In Urdu poetry, it evokes revolutionary fervor, as in Faiz Ahmed Faiz's verses urging tahreek against oppression.
