2 Urdu couplets and shers with baghair

baghair: without

Description of baghair: Baghair is an Urdu preposition meaning "without," denoting absence, exclusion, or lack of something. Unlike "bina," which implies complete deprivation, baghair often suggests omission in a specific context. Differs from "siwaye," a more formal synonym for "except," by emphasizing separation or independence. In Urdu poetry, it evokes longing, as in verses lamenting love baghair sukoon .
