Description of shamaa: Shamaa is an Urdu word referring to a traditional oil lamp or candle that burns with a steady flame, symbolizing light and warmth. Unlike modern electric bulbs, it relies on wick and oil for a soft, flickering glow.

In Urdu poetry, it represents fleeting beauty and love's sacrificial glow,

shamaa har rang mein jalti hai
seher hote tak
who can cure, ‘asad’,
the sorrow of existence except death
the lamp burns in every color
until the dawn arrives
