1 Urdu ash'ar / shaayari (shers, couplets) containing the word:

qayaam: standing, stalling

1 / 1: qayaam

ye qayaam kaisa hai raah mein tere zauq-o-shauq ko kya hua

abhi chaar kaanTe chhube nahin

tere sab iraade badal gaye?

how come this stalling in the path?

what happened to your will and zeal?

not even four thorns have pricked you

and all your intentions have changed?
