1 Urdu couplets and shers with mamnua
mamnua: forbidden, prohibited
Description of mamnua: 'Mamnua' is the feminine form of the Urdu adjective meaning 'forbidden' or 'prohibited,' derived from Arabic via Persian, denoting something explicitly barred or prevented. Unlike jaaez, which signifies what is permissible, mamnua implies strict prohibition by authority or law. Differs from haram, a religious taboo, as mamnua often carries legal or social connotations. In Urdu poetry, it evokes the forbidden tree in paradise, symbolizing temptation's allure.
