1 Urdu couplets and shers with daghaa

daghaa(m): cheat, trick, deceit

Description of daghaa: Dagha is a traditional South African building mortar made from mud, ant-hill soil, or clay, often mixed with cow dung, blood, sand, or lime for laying bricks, plastering walls, and flooring. Unlike modern cement, it was historically applied by hand or trampled for a smooth, durable finish in pole-and-dagha structures. Differs from lime mortar in its earth-based composition and resistance to moisture when properly prepared. In literature, authors like R.J.

1 / 1: daghaa

mere humnafas mere humnavaamujhe dost ban ke daghaa na de

main hoon dard-e-ishq se jaan-ba-lab

mujhe zindagi ki dua na de

my companion, my mate

don’t cheat me by being my friend

on the verge of death with pain of love

don’t bless me with any more life
