Praising the appearance of something or someone.
Contexto cultural
When complimenting a child or a person's beauty, always add 'MashAllah' to protect them from the 'evil eye' (Nazar). In the refined 'Tehzeeb' (etiquette) of Lucknow, one might use 'SubhanAllah' instead of 'Bohat Khoobsurat' to express a more spiritual appreciation of beauty. On Instagram, Urdu speakers often use the English transliteration 'Bohat Khoobsurat' or 'MashAllah' even when writing in English script. Beauty is often compared to the moon (Chand). Calling someone 'Chand jaisa khoobsurat' (Beautiful like the moon) is a classic romantic trope.
The MashAllah Rule
