2 Urdu couplets and shers with socha

socha: think

Description of socha: "Socha" in Urdu means "thought" or "reflection," referring to the mental process of contemplation or deliberation. Unlike "khayal," which denotes a fleeting idea or notion, socha implies deeper, intentional pondering. Differs from "vikas," a broader term for development or evolution, as socha focuses solely on cognitive introspection. In Urdu poetry, it evokes introspective musings, as in Ghalib's verses on life's pondered transience.
