2 Urdu couplets and shers with seekh

seekh: to learn

Description of seekh: Seekh is an Urdu word meaning "skewer," referring to a thin metal rod used to impale and grill spiced minced meat in South Asian cuisine, forming the iconic seekh kebab. Unlike broader kebab varieties that may be shaped into patties or balls, seekh kebabs are specifically molded as elongated cylinders around the skewer for even charring. Differs from "shish" in Turkish cuisine, which uses similar skewers but often features larger
