1 Urdu couplets and shers with millat

millat(f): nation

Description of millat: "Millat" primarily refers to an Urdu word meaning "nation" or "community," denoting a collective group united by shared faith, culture, or identity. Unlike "watan" , which emphasizes geographical territory, millat focuses on the bonds connecting people spiritually and culturally. Differs from "qaum," which typically describes ethnic or tribal groups, millat carries broader religious and civilizational connotations. In Islamic and South Asian literary traditions, poets employ millat to evoke collective consciousness
