1 Urdu couplets and shers with geer

geer(m): caught, seized

Description of geer: Geer is an Urdu word meaning fat, grease, or oil, often referring to animal fat used in cooking or lubrication. Unlike refined oils, it has a thicker, semi-solid consistency derived from rendered animal tissues. Differs from ghee, which is clarified butter, as geer retains more impurities and a stronger, gamier flavor. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes excess or indulgence, as in verses evoking lavish feasts.
