2 Urdu couplets and shers with waiz
waiz(m): preacher, holy man
Description of waiz: Waiz is an Urdu word referring to a preacher or religious orator who delivers sermons, often on Islamic moral and ethical teachings to inspire righteous living. Unlike a mere reciter of Quran, a waiz interprets scriptures with practical life lessons. Differs from a scholar or alim, who focuses on deep theological scholarship rather than public exhortation. In Urdu poetry, waiz evokes the passionate voice urging spiritual awakening amid worldly temptations.
1 / 2: waiz
aisa bhi koi hai ki
sab achchha kahein jise
ghalib, don't mind if
the cleric finds you sinful
is there anyone at all
the whole world deems virtuous?

par itna jaante hain
kal wo jaata tha ke hum nikle
where’s the tavern’s entrance, ghalib,
and where is the preacher
i know only this…yesterday,
when i was coming out, he was going in
