1 Urdu couplets and shers with deewar

deewar(m): wall

Description of deewar: Deewar is an Urdu word meaning "wall," referring to a vertical structure that divides or encloses spaces. Unlike a deorhi, which denotes a grand entrance gateway in traditional architecture, deewar serves as a basic partition in everyday buildings. It differs from baagh by lacking any connotation of gardens or open areas. In Urdu poetry, deewar often symbolizes emotional barriers between lovers.
