1 Urdu couplets and shers with nahr

nahr(f): canal, stream

Description of nahr: Nahr refers to a canal, stream, or flowing watercourse, often associated with irrigation or controlled waterways. Unlike darya, which denotes a large river, nahr usually implies a narrower and managed flow. Differs from nahar in casual usage by carrying a more formal or literary tone. In Urdu writing, nahr often symbolizes continuity, life, and the steady passage of time.
