Interesting Information on kaahkashaa.n
The word ‘Kah-Kashaa.n’, or, Milky-Way, has been used quite beautifully in Urdu poetry. This famous couplet is etched in everybody’s memory: inhii.n pattharo.n pe chal kar agar aa sako to aa.o mire ghar ke raaste me.n ko.ii kahkashaa.n nahii.n hai Interestingly, this word, which is also written as ‘Kaah-Kashaa.n’, literally means to pull dry grass on the soil. This word is made up of two Persian words, 'kah' meaning dried grass, and 'kashan' meaning pulling. Similar to the marks left by a bundle of dried grass dragged on wet ground is the cluster of stars that appear in the night sky, consequently giving it the name ‘Kah-Kashan’. In Hindi, it is known as ‘Aakash-Ganga’, a word which flashes every so often in Urdu poetry.
