1 Urdu couplets and shers with maujon

maujon(m): waves

Description of maujon: Maujon is the plural form of mauj in Urdu, meaning "waves" and referring to undulating movements of water or rhythmic surges. Unlike mauj, which denotes a single wave or playful mood, maujon evokes multiplicity and flow. Differs from leher , which implies gentler ripples, by suggesting larger, more dynamic swells. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes life's transient joys, as in verses likening love to crashing waves.
