1 Urdu couplets and shers with behisaab

behisaab(m): without an account

Description of behisaab: Behisaab is an Urdu word meaning countless, innumerable, or immeasurable, often evoking abundance beyond calculation. Unlike munabbas, which implies a deliberate tally, behisaab suggests boundless excess without restraint or record. Differs from ginaati, a counted quantity, by denoting infinity that defies enumeration. In poetry, Faraz uses it divinely: breaking a rosary to embrace one who "behisaab deta hai," giving without account.
