4 Urdu couplets and shers with ehsaas

ehsaas(m): feeling, experience

Description of ehsaas: Ehsaas is an Urdu word meaning a deep emotional sensation, feeling, or profound awareness, often conveying empathy, sentiment, or inner realization. Unlike superficial emotions that fade quickly, ehsaas lingers as a heartfelt intuition shaping one's perspective. Differs from mere "feeling" by implying a nuanced, soul-stirring empathy tied to human connections. In poetry, it evokes love's subtle pangs, as in lyrics: "Naya naya ehsaas hai tu jo mujhko mila hai."
