maah -- e-shab-e -chaar daham : Literaly it means " the moon of the 14th night" which is full moon. It fits with the rest of the text ie. "you were the full moon of the house" It's actually farsi

Re: maah-e-shab-e-chaar_daham!...what is it?

ok dosto, **Muqawwee, Sogul aur NaabiGh**** saaHibaan ne saHeeH farmaayaa k:

maah-e-shab-e-chaar_daham = chaudhwiiN kaa chaand****

kaise? aise:

roman urdu meN *"-e-"* izaafat [connective] kahlaatii hai aur jahaN yeh hotaa ahi use ham pichhle sire se paRhnaa shuruu karte haiN aur -e- ko**** KII/KAA**** [OF] se mutabaddil kar dete haiN. yeh tarkeeb-e-izaafat urdu meN zabaan e farsii se aayii hai. ab ise ham yuN paRheNge:

*maah-e-shab-e-chaar daham = das[daham] chaar KII raat KAA chaand*
10+4 = 14**** ya'nii chaudhviiN kaa chaand :)

aise hii Ghalib ne ek aur lafz is chaudhviiN ke chaand ke liye must'amil farmaayaa thaa aur vo thaa:

*meh-e-neem_maah = aadhe mahiine kaa chaand*

yahaN Khoobsoortii is *taraash e lafzii* kii yeh hai k meh/maah chaand ko bhii kahte haiN aur maah mahiine ko bhii kahtye haiN is liye chaand ke liye meh kaa iste'maal kiyaa aur maah mahiine ke liye...

...isii liye kahte haiN k *chachaa Ghaalib was a GENIUS!* :D**
