1 Urdu couplets and shers with salaamti

salaamti(f): well-being, safety, peace

Description of salaamti: Salaamti is an Urdu word meaning safeness, denoting the state of being secure from harm, danger, or loss, akin to safety or security. Unlike transient protection, it emphasizes an enduring quality of well-being and freedom from peril. Differs from mere survival by encompassing comprehensive peace and invulnerability in life's uncertainties. In Urdu poetry, salaamti often evokes divine safeguarding, as in verses wishing eternal security upon loved ones amid worldly trials.
