…

What is the archive's and what is not. The Urdu text is quoted verbatim from Mahtāb-e Dāgh (1892), p. 216. Each word's meaning is cited to the dictionary page it was read at. The Roman transliteration is the archive's own and has not yet had a native reader's pass — tap any word to see exactly what is cited and what is not.
