1 Urdu couplets and shers with humraah

humraah(m): companion

Description of humraah: Humraah is an Urdu word meaning a travel companion or fellow traveler, often evoking a deep bond of shared journeys in life or love. Unlike a mere acquaintance, it implies mutual commitment through every path taken. Differs from 'saathi' by carrying romantic or poetic undertones of unwavering togetherness. In literature, like the song from Malang, it pledges eternal partnership: "Humraah ab se mera tu" you're my companion from now
