2 Urdu couplets and shers with jhoom

jhoom(m): sway, dance

Description of jhoom: Jhoom is an Urdu word meaning to sway, swing, or dance rhythmically with a gentle, ecstatic motion, often evoking a trance-like state of joy or spiritual rapture. Unlike rigid or structured movements, it conveys a fluid, involuntary rocking as if moved by an inner force or breeze. Differs from mere dancing by implying an emotional or mystical abandon rather than deliberate steps. In poetry, it describes lovers swaying in bliss

1 / 2: jhoom

kabhi din ki dhoop mein jhoom kekabhi shab ke phool ko chuum ke

yun hi saath saath chalen sada

kabhi khatm apna safar na ho

sometimes swaying in the sunshine

sometimes kissing evening flowers

let us walk together forever

may our journey never end
