2 Urdu couplets and shers with nikhat

nikhat(f): fragrance, aroma

Description of nikhat: Nikhat is an Urdu word meaning fragrance, scent, or aroma, often evoking a delicate and pleasing perfume. Unlike heavier odors that overwhelm, nikhat subtly lingers, enhancing the senses with its lightness. Differs from "khushboo," which denotes a broader, more pervasive smell, nikhat implies refined elegance. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes elusive beauty, as in verses where a beloved's nikhat captivates the lover's soul.
