6 Urdu couplets and shers with mausam

mausam(m): weather, season

Description of mausam: Mausam is an Urdu word meaning "weather" or "season," referring to atmospheric conditions or periodic changes in nature. Unlike climate, which denotes long-term patterns over years, mausam describes short-term, day-to-day variations like rain or sunshine. It differs from "fasaana" by evoking transient moods rather than narratives. In poetry, poets like Ghalib use it metaphorically for love's fleeting phases, as in "Dil dhundhta hai phir wahi fursat ke raat din."
