2 Urdu couplets and shers with insaaf

insaaf(m): justice

Description of insaaf: Insaaf is an Urdu word meaning justice, fairness, or equity, often denoting the impartial administration of law and moral rightness. Unlike adlat, which strictly refers to a court or legal system, insaaf emphasizes ethical balance and retribution beyond formal proceedings. It differs from haq by encompassing corrective action against wrongdoing. In Urdu poetry, Allama Iqbal invokes insaaf as divine equity restoring cosmic order.
