2 Urdu couplets and shers with qaaem
qaaem(m): established, enduring
Description of qaaem: Qaaem is an Urdu word meaning "standing," "established," or "enduring," often denoting permanence or steadfastness in position. Unlike transient states like "temporary," it implies a firm, unwavering presence that persists over time. Differs from "zaahid," which emphasizes ascetic withdrawal, as qaaem highlights resolute continuity amid challenges. In Urdu poetry, it evokes the lover's eternal vigil, as in Ghalib's verses on unyielding devotion.
1 / 2: qaaem
chalegaa paani magar
kinaara naheen chalegaa
since eternity, both have
remained firm in their stances
the water keeps moving, but
the shore stays where it is
