10 Urdu couplets and shers with qaatil

qaatil(m): murderer, assassin

Description of qaatil: Qaatil is an Urdu word meaning "killer" or "murderer," referring to a person who intentionally takes another's life. Unlike qatl, which denotes the act of killing itself, qaatil emphasizes the perpetrator. Differs from hatya, a Hindi term for homicide, by carrying a more visceral, often poetic connotation in Urdu literature. In poetry, it symbolizes betrayal, as in lovers who "kill" with heartbreak.
