1 Urdu couplets and shers with chaaraghon

chaaraghon(m): lamps

Description of chaaraghon: Chaaraghon is an Urdu word referring to multiple lamps or lanterns, often evoking illumination in a poetic or metaphorical sense. Unlike a single chaaragh , it suggests a collective glow illuminating gatherings or hearts. Differs from diya by implying ornate, multi-flamed fixtures used in celebrations. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes enlightenment, as in Ghalib's verses where chaaraghon light paths of love and wisdom.
