2 Urdu couplets and shers with raahat

raahat(f): comfort, ease

Description of raahat: Raahat is an Urdu word meaning comfort, relief, or respite from distress or hardship. Unlike sukoon, which denotes inner peace or tranquility of the soul, raahat emphasizes physical or temporary alleviation of pain. It differs from aaraam by focusing on restoration after suffering rather than mere rest or leisure. In Urdu poetry, raahat evokes sighs of longed-for ease amid life's turmoil, as in Ghalib's verses seeking divine relief.
