1 Urdu couplets and shers with lifaafe

lifaafe(m): cover, envelope

Description of lifaafe: Lifaafe is an Urdu word meaning an envelope, particularly one used to enclose letters or gifts, often with a decorative or protective cover. Unlike ordinary paper wrappers, it is typically sealed and ornate for formal use. Differs from a simple pouch by its structured, foldable design suited for mailing. In Urdu poetry, lifaafe symbolizes concealed emotions, as in verses hiding unspoken love within its folds.
