jashn(m): celebration

Description of jashn: Jashn is an Urdu word meaning a festive celebration, joyous gathering, or exuberant festivity, often tied to cultural or social events. Unlike somber commemorations, it evokes unrestrained merriment with music, dance, and feasting. Differs from mere parties by emphasizing communal elation and ritualistic splendor in South Asian traditions. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes life's triumphant highs, as in Faiz Ahmed Faiz's verses where jashn heralds love's victory over despair.
