Use of Graveyards in Sad Urdu Ghazal
The departed remain close, their absence a tangible presence. Every whisper of the breeze carries their laughter, every sunrise paints their visage on the clouds. Memories, like fireflies, dance in the twilight, each flicker rekindling a lost warmth. We visit their final resting place in qabristan and read Urdu poetry written on their qabar ka katba / takhti. Not with empty palms, but with verses etched in our hearts.
“Khushboo yaadon ki hai, hawayein gungunati hain,” the whispers murmur. Even the earth that cradles them speaks of them, its scent a whispered lullaby. On the cold stone, poetry blooms, not in ink, but in the dewfall of our tears. Shayari on mout becomes a prayer, a whispered echo carried on the wings of the wind, whispering their name to the heavens.
