1 Urdu couplets and shers with turbat

turbat(f): grave

Description of turbat: Turbat is an Urdu word meaning "grave" or "tomb," often referring to a burial place or sepulcher. Unlike common terms like "qabr" which denote a simple grave, turbat carries a more poetic connotation of sacred dust or earth associated with the righteous. It differs from "maqbara," a grand mausoleum, by emphasizing humble, spiritual soil. In Sufi poetry, turbat symbolizes the beloved's resting place, evoking longing and divine union.
