1 Urdu couplets and shers with adaab

adaab(m): etiquette

Description of adaab: Adaab is an Urdu term derived from the Arabic adab, denoting respect, politeness, good manners, and moral conduct in social interactions. Unlike the religious greeting Assalamu Alaikum, which is primarily for Muslims, adaab serves as a secular alternative used across faiths in multi-cultural settings like India and Pakistan. It differs from formal Persian or Turkish court gestures like kornish by emphasizing equality and collective refinement in everyday civility. In Urdu
