6 Urdu couplets and shers with beqaraar

beqaraar: restless

Description of beqaraar: Beqaraar is an Urdu word meaning restless, uneasy, or agitated, often describing a heart or mind in turmoil due to longing or anxiety. Unlike sukoon, which conveys peace and tranquility, beqaraar captures persistent inner disquiet. Differs from bechain, as it emphasizes emotional restlessness tied to love or anticipation rather than mere discomfort. In Urdu poetry, it evokes lovers' yearning, as in shers where the heart remains beqaraar even after meeting
