Unlike its Arabic counterpart which primarily denotes sweetness in flavor, shireen in Urdu extends metaphorically to endearing qualities in people or charming atmospheres. Differs from sheerin, a variant emphasizing honey-like sweetness, by encompassing broader sensory and emotional appeal. In Urdu poetry, shireen evokes beloved lips or voices, as in classic ghazals romanticizing
