कारों

Meaning

Doers, agents, or performers of deeds (oblique plural).

Detailed Meaning

In Urdu poetry and grammar, 'kaaron' is the oblique plural of the Persian agentive suffix or noun 'kaar', signifying doers or performers of an action. In this verse, it appears in the compound 'siyah-kaaron' (the blackened ones, i.e., sinners or transgressors), who are playfully said to be beyond the reach of divine accounting on the Day of Judgment. It generally functions as a plural nominal ending for compounds denoting people defined by their acts.

Etymology

Derived from Persian 'kār' (action, deed; maker/doer) combined with the Urdu oblique plural marker '-oñ'.

Usage

Commonly appended to adjectives like 'nek' or 'siyah' in ghazals to evoke the archetype of the righteous or the profligate.
