3 Urdu couplets and shers with guzre

guzre(m): transpires, passes

Description of guzre: Guzre is an Urdu word meaning "passed" or "elapsed," often referring to experiences, time, or hardships that have gone by. Unlike guzaara, which denotes mere sustenance or getting by, it emphasizes completion of trials. Differs from bitaya, as it conveys emotional weight of endured suffering. In poetry, like Ahmad Salman's ghazal, "jo hum pe guzre the ranj saare" evokes profound pains only understood when personally felt.
