1 Urdu couplets and shers with mamnuun

mamnuun: grateful

Description of mamnuun: Mamnuun is an Urdu adjective meaning grateful, thankful, or obliged, denoting someone who has received a favor. Unlike casual expressions like "shukriya," it conveys deeper indebtedness for kindness shown. Differs from "shukarguzar," as it specifically implies one favored or beholden by an act of grace. In poetry, it appears in couplets like "mamn?n huuñ jah?ñ ke nasheb-o-far?z k?," expressing worldly gratitude.
