1 Urdu couplets and shers with seeti

seeti(f): whistle, horn

Description of seeti: Seeti is an Urdu word meaning a shrill whistle or hoot, often used to express admiration, excitement, or to call attention in crowds. Unlike a simple clap or cheer, it produces a piercing, high-pitched sound that cuts through noise. Differs from a horn or siren, as it is typically made by pursing the lips and blowing forcefully. In poetry, seeti evokes jubilant crowds cheering heroes or lovers' trysts.
