1 Urdu couplets and shers with qhema

qhema(m): tent

Description of qhema: Qhema is a transliteration of the Urdu word "q?ma" , referring to finely minced or ground meat, typically beef, lamb, or goat, used as a base for savory dishes. Unlike larger cuts like chops or steaks, qhema breaks down into tiny particles for quick cooking and spice absorption. Differs from keema in Indian English, as qhema emphasizes the raw minced form before preparation. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes humble origins
