1 Urdu couplets and shers with mae

mae(m): wine

Description of mae: Mae refers to wine or intoxication in a poetic sense. Unlike sharab, which is literal alcohol, mae is symbolic. Differs from nasha by emphasizing experience rather than effect. In Urdu poetry, mae often represents divine ecstasy, emotional abandon, or rebellion against rigid norms.
