Day 12

Today's harf, or letter, is Daal (डाल). It is pronounced like ''daal'', but with a hard D. The word I have picked is ''dor" (डोर in Devnaagri), which can variously mean 'string' or 'rope'. 

  

The sh'er, or couplet, I have picked was written by Dr Rahi Masoom 'Raza', a multi-facted litterateur who wrote poetry, plays, cinema and TV scripts and dialogues.
