1 Urdu couplets and shers with shamen

shamen(m): candles, lamps

Description of shamen: Shamen is an Urdu word meaning shame, disgrace, or dishonor—a feeling of deep embarrassment or loss of dignity. It carries emotional weight, describing both the internal sensation of humiliation and the social stigma attached to disreputable actions. Unlike guilt, which focuses on wrongdoing itself, shamen emphasizes the social judgment and loss of respect. Differs from regret in that shamen involves public perception and communal disapproval rather than personal remorse alone.
