1 Urdu couplets and shers with majboori

majboori(f): helplessness, compulsion

Description of majboori: Majboori is an Urdu word meaning compulsion, necessity, or a state of being forced into an action due to unavoidable circumstances. Unlike voluntary choices driven by desire, it implies actions taken under duress or constraint. Differs from mere difficulty, as it evokes helplessness against fate or external pressures. In poetry and songs like Mohammed Irfan's "Majboori," it poignantly captures love's tragic inevitability, where lovers part despite lingering affection.

1 / 1: majboori

bojh uThana shauq kahaan haimajboori ka sauda hai

rahte rahte station par

log coolie ho jaate hain

bearing burdens is hardly a passion

it is a barter of compulsion

staying at the station

people soon become porters
