1 Urdu couplets and shers with shifa
shifa(m): healing, cure
Description of shifa: Shifa is an Urdu word derived from Arabic, meaning healing, cure, or recovery from illness, often carrying spiritual connotations of divine remedy. Unlike purely medical terms like "dawa" , it encompasses holistic restoration of body and soul. Differs from "ilaj" , as shifa implies a miraculous or faith-based alleviation beyond clinical intervention. In Urdu poetry, it evokes longing for spiritual solace, as in Ghalib's verses seeking shifa from love's affliction.
