2 Urdu couplets and shers with tauheen

tauheen(m): insult

Description of tauheen: Tauheen is an Urdu word meaning "disrespect," "insult," or "sacrilege," often implying a grave violation of honor or dignity. Unlike mere criticism, it conveys profound dishonor that wounds one's esteem or sanctity. Differs from "beizzati" by emphasizing an act akin to blasphemy against revered qualities. In poetry, it laments failing to exalt beauty, as in Punjabi lyrics where neglecting praise is "tauheen" of a beloved's grace.
