प्रयोग

In classical Urdu poetry, such terms for extreme bodily wasting evoke the motif of the lover dwindling down to a mere hair or bodiless illusion under love's grief and ascetic yearning (khayal-e-moo). Thus, 'gaya bahut lat' describes the lover who has physically withered away almost entirely into nothingness. From Sanskrit 'लता' (latā, slender vine/creeper) via Middle Indo-Aryan, giving the dialectal sense of hanging limp, fallen, or withered. In classical ghazals, words denoting emaciation are standard topoi illustrating the physical disappearance of the lover in the contemplation of the beloved's fine waist or hair. His body became utterly wasted away in grief. The lover was reduced to skin and bone through separation. हिज्र की धूप में आशिक़ गया लट। ग़म से बदन सूख कर लट हो गया। ہجر کی دھوپ میں عاشق گیا لٹ۔ غم سے بدن سوکھ کر لٹ ہو گیا۔ false
