4 Urdu couplets and shers with maseeha

maseeha(m): saviour, messiah

Description of maseeha: Maseeha is an Urdu word meaning "messiah" or "savior," referring to a divinely appointed deliverer who rescues people from oppression and suffering. Unlike ordinary leaders, maseeha embodies spiritual authority and redemptive purpose, emerging when darkness overwhelms the vulnerable. Differs from mere heroes through its religious and prophetic connotations, suggesting cosmic significance beyond human capability. In literary and poetic traditions, maseeha symbolizes hope's triumph over tyranny, representing humanity's yearning for liberation
