'ThaaT baaT' apparently means glorious opulence. There is song in the movie Bandini

o jaane waale ho sake to laut ke aanaa
ye ghaaT tu ye baaT kahiiN bhool na jaanaa..


So what is the meaning of 'baaT'. I know one meaning, although now electronic weighing machines are used, but not long ago taraazu was used and the weights were called baaT.

Shukriya Faanii Saahib. Should have known 'baaT johanaa' is fairly common phrase in Hindi; in poetry, mehbooba has little else to do.
