2 Urdu couplets and shers with murjha
murjha: wilt
Description of murjha: Murjha is an Urdu verb meaning to wither, wilt, or fade, typically describing flowers, plants, or beauty losing vitality due to neglect or time. Unlike marjha, which implies complete drying or death, murjha suggests a drooping, reversible state of decline. It differs from suKho, a broader term for drying, by evoking emotional languor or sorrowful fading. In poetry, like Ghalib's ghazals, murjha symbolizes love's fleeting youth or unrequited longing.

mehroom rehte hain jo
shafiq-e-deedaar se
they wilt and they scatter
those sad relationships
that are deprived of the
compassionate sight of the beloved
