2 Urdu couplets and shers with bulandi

bulandi(f): height

Description of bulandi: Bulandi is an Urdu word meaning height, elevation, or a state of loftiness, often denoting peak achievement, pride, or supremacy in status. Unlike past , it evokes upward ascent and grandeur. Differs from unchaai by encompassing metaphorical eminence. In poetry, it symbolizes soaring ambition, as in verses celebrating a hero's bulandi over adversity. It holds strong cultural and emotional significance in Urdu literature, poetry, and everyday expressive language.
