뜻
To be very high or tall.
문화적 배경
In Pakistan, this idiom is the unofficial slogan of the common man during economic shifts. You will hear it in every talk show and every street corner when the budget is announced. Classical poets use this to describe the 'Astan' (threshold) of the beloved or the height of their own 'Himmat' (courage). It's a mark of high literary style. Urdu speakers in Dubai or Doha use this constantly to describe the rapid construction of skyscrapers in the Gulf. Locals use this to describe the peaks of the Karakoram range, emphasizing that these mountains are the 'roof of the world'.
