گانٹھ کھولنا
To untie a knot; to undo a knot; to solve a problem; to resolve a difficulty; to clear up a misunderstanding; to decipher a mystery; to remove an obstruction. گانٹھ (gaanṭh) is the Urdu noun meaning knot, tie, bond, or joint, derived from the Sanskrit "ग्रन्थि" (granthi), meaning knot. کھولنا (kholna) is the Urdu verb meaning to open, to untie, to unfasten, to unravel, or to solve. Together, گانٹھ کھولنا literally means "to open a knot" or "to untie a knot". This phrase is used literally for untying a physical knot in a rope, string, thread, or shoelace. It is also used metaphorically for solving a complex problem (مسئلہ کی گانٹھ کھولنا, masla ki gaanth kholna), resolving a dispute (تنازع کی گانٹھ کھولنا, tanaza ki gaanth kholna), clearing up a misunderstanding (غلط فہمی کی گانٹھ کھولنا, ghalat fehmi ki gaanth kholna), finding the answer to a puzzle (معما کی گانٹھ کھولنا, muamma ki gaanth kholna), or overcoming a difficulty (مشکل کی گانٹھ کھولنا, mushkil ki gaanth kholna). The polarity is positive, as untying a knot brings relief and solution. The opposite concepts are "گانٹھ باندھنا" (gaanṭh bandhna, to tie a knot), "الجھانا" (uljhana, to tangle), "مشکل پیدا کرنا" (mushkil peda karna, to create difficulty). The phrase is grammatically transitive, taking the object that is the knot or the problem.
