2 Urdu couplets and shers with aashnaa
aashnaa(m): familiar, acquaintance
Description of aashnaa: Aashnaa is an Urdu word meaning acquaintance, friend, associate, or intimate companion, often denoting a lover, sweetheart, paramour, mistress, or concubine, and functioning as both a noun and adjective. Unlike casual terms like "dost" , it implies deeper familiarity or emotional closeness. Differs from "mehboob" by encompassing platonic bonds alongside romantic ones. In poetry, it evokes tender intimacy, as in ghazals portraying soulful connections.

you are unfair, act unfamiliar,
with no love, unfaithful,
a strange friend indeed
