KKF Ijazat hai?

Ok Dosto!

Aik Aasan se lafz ‘Ista’aara’ ka matlab bataiye.

Hint: Parveen Shakir ki ek mashoor ghazal ke matla’e (opening para) main ye lafz ista’maal hua hai.

Best of luck and no magaz mareeing.

'Ista'aara' - Is taaara - this star - refers to a movie star, singer etc

For example, Ista'aara is bery bery good

Correct. Aasaan zabaan main isse tashbeeh dena kehte hai. Jaise Parveen Shakir ne muhabbat ke wajood ki is tarah se tashbeeeh di:

Gulab hath main ho, aankh main sitara ho
koi wajood muhabbat ka ista'aara ho

I think this word is used in Arabic language too which mean 'renting off'.

^ You are talking about 'Musta'aar lena'. That is also common in Urdu

Re: Meaning of Today’s Urdu Word…Nov. 17, 2011

It’s a class analyzing persian short stories and such…so it’s a handy word to know

honestly…maybe instead of a thread a tumblr and twitter might be better for these type of threads…like http://punjabirefill.com/
