1 Urdu couplets and shers with nihaan
nihaan(m): separation, hidden, secret
Description of nihaan: Nihaan is an Urdu word meaning something concealed, hidden, or kept secret from view. Unlike overt expressions of emotion, it evokes a sense of deliberate obscurity or veiling. Differs from mere privacy by implying intentional seclusion, often with undertones of mystery or protection. In Urdu poetry, nihaan frequently describes unspoken love or buried sorrows, as in Ghalib's verses where feelings remain nihaan within the heart.
