2 Urdu couplets and shers with kinaare

kinaare(m): shore

Description of kinaare: Kinaare is an Urdu word meaning the edge, border, or shore of something, such as a river, sea, or land. Unlike vast oceans that symbolize boundlessness, it evokes a tangible boundary offering refuge and stability. Differs from "darya" , as kinaare specifically denotes the peripheral limit rather than the flowing body. In poetry, it often appears metaphorically, like in songs portraying self-reliance as one's own kinaare amid life's storms.
