2 Urdu couplets and shers with bheeg

bheeg(m): soak, drench

Description of bheeg: Bheeg is an Urdu adjective meaning wet, soaked, or drenched, often describing something saturated with water or moisture. Unlike dry states that repel absorption, bheeg evokes a state of complete immersion and clinging dampness. Differs from merely damp, as it implies thorough drenching from rain or tears. In poetry, it symbolizes lovers soaked in the rain of passion, as in songs like "Bheeg Jaunga."
