1 Urdu couplets and shers with nemul-badal

nemul-badal(m): replacement, substitute

Description of nemul-badal: Nemul-badal is an Urdu term meaning an excellent or appropriate substitute, often a beneficial replacement for a loss, such as profit in exchange for damage or a skilled stand-in for something lost. Unlike ordinary compensation, it implies superior gain or reward beyond expectation. Differs from mere exchange by denoting a virtuous or elevated quid pro quo. In poetry by Malik Ehsan, it evokes enduring emotional solace amid unchanging sorrow.
