2 Urdu couplets and shers with balaa
balaa(m): troubles / intensity
Description of balaa: Balaa in Urdu means a calamity, affliction, or disaster that brings severe hardship or misfortune. Unlike a mere accident, which is often random and short-lived, balaa implies a prolonged, inevitable torment testing one's faith and endurance. Differs from "aafat," a general plague or scourge, as balaa specifically denotes personal tribulation from fate or divine will. In Urdu poetry, it evokes cosmic woes, as in Ghalib's verses lamenting love's balaa ravaging
