3 Urdu couplets and shers with sang

sang(m): rock

Description of sang: Sang, in Urdu, refers to a stone or rock, often denoting something hard, unyielding, or metaphorically cold-hearted. Unlike larger boulders known as pathar, sang typically implies a smaller, handheld stone suitable for throwing or building. Differs from the softer til?, which means a gem or jewel, as sang lacks precious value. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes enduring hardship, as in verses depicting a lover's heart as sang-dil, stone-hearted yet steadfast.
