हंगामे

Meaning

Tumult, uproar, commotion, or chaotic gathering.

Detailed Meaning

In classical Urdu poetry, it denotes an uproar, commotion, or intense public tumult. In this couplet, it appears in the oblique case, referring to the dreadful stir and apocalyptic clamor of the Day of Judgment (Hashr). The poet ironizes the preacher's terrifying depictions, suggesting that such cosmic chaos merely resembles the poet's own lively or unrestrained gathering.

Etymology

Persian 'hangāma' (crowd, assembly, tumult, uproar).

Usage

Often paired with concepts of the afterlife (like hangāma-e-hashr) or the chaotic frenzy of romantic passion.
