1 Urdu couplets and shers with naha

naha(m): bathe

Description of naha: Naha is an Urdu verb meaning "to bathe" or "to take a bath," referring to the act of washing one's body with water. Unlike ritual ablution , which cleans specific parts for prayer, naha involves full-body immersion or pouring. Differs from ghusl, the obligatory total purification after impurity, as naha is typically casual daily cleansing. In Urdu poetry, it evokes renewal, like lovers bathing in moonlight streams.
