4 Urdu couplets and shers with yaaron

yaaron: friends

Description of yaaron:

Yaaron is an Urdu word meaning "friends" or "companions," often used affectionately to address a group of close buddies in casual conversation. Unlike formal terms like dost which denote singular friendship, yaaron conveys a plural, intimate camaraderie. Differs from mitr in Hindi by carrying a raw, streetwise warmth rooted in Urdu poetry. In literary usage, poets like Faiz Ahmed Faiz evoke yaaron to celebrate enduring bonds amid life's trials.
