Farewell, or “alvida” in Urdu, carries a bittersweet essence that resonates deeply in the realm of poetry. Urdu two-line poetry delicately captures the sentiment of saying goodbye, expressing the melancholy that envelops the heart during farewells. “Alvida keh kar bhi dil ko sukoon nahi aata, lamhe chhupaye jate hain, yaadon mein bas jaate hain.” Translating to “Even after saying goodbye, peace eludes the heart, moments are hidden away, lingering in memories.” These succinct lines encapsulate the poignant reality that farewells bring, where the heart grapples with the ache of parting, and memories become the only solace.
