2 Urdu couplets and shers with luuT
luuT: loot
Description of luuT: 'LuuT' is an Urdu verb meaning to plunder, loot, or ransack, often implying violent seizure of goods or property. Unlike mere theft, which involves stealthy taking, luuT entails aggressive, open raiding typically in chaos or war. Differs from 'chori' , as luuT suggests collective or forceful pillage rather than individual slyness. In Urdu poetry, it evokes invaders' devastation, as in Faiz Ahmed Faiz's verses on historical conquests.

rahbar ne mil ke luuT liya
raahzan ke saath
of our caravans, majrooh,
the story is this
the ruler has looted us
joining hands with the robber

kabhi shamsheer ke saath
