2 Urdu couplets and shers with shahar
shahar(m): city
Description of shahar: Shahar is an Urdu word meaning "city" or "town," referring to an urban center with buildings, infrastructure, and a dense population. Unlike qasba, a smaller market town, shahar denotes a larger, more developed settlement. It differs from deh or gaon, which mean rural village. In Urdu poetry, shahar evokes bustling streets and vibrant life, as in Ghalib's verses romanticizing urban longing.

aaina bechtaa hoon main
andhon ke shahar mein
ask me not about
the fortunes of my business
i sell mirrors
in the city of the blind

2 / 2: shahar
honTon pe latife hain
awaaz mein chaale hain
in this city,
the style of living is so strange
wit and smile on the lips
but sharp edges in the voice
