Word Meaning
बहाराँ
bahārāñ
Meaning
Springtime; the season of blooming flowers, or multiple springs.
Detailed Meaning
In Persian and Urdu poetics, 'bahārāñ' is the plural form of 'bahār' (spring), often used stylistically to evoke the full splendor, intensity, or personification of the blooming season. In this couplet, it represents the season of flowers that, in the absence of the beloved, ironically seems to torment the lover by setting the entire garden ablaze like fire. The visual redness of blossoming buds and flowers is perceived not as delight, but as destructive embers.
Etymology
Persian (bahār + plural suffix -ān).
Usage
In the classical ghazal, it is frequently used to accentuate the tragic irony of separation, where nature's celebratory bloom only sharpens the lover's inner grief.
Examples
The arrival of spring brought flowers to bloom across the wasteland.
Without your sight, the colors of spring turn to embers.
