2 Urdu couplets and shers with sauda
sauda(m): business, barter, trade
Description of sauda: Sauda is an Urdu word meaning intense longing, melancholy, or unrequited love, often evoking deep emotional pain. Unlike temporary sadness, it permeates the soul with persistent ache. Differs from mere infatuation by blending passion with profound sorrow. In poetry, like Ghalib's ghazals, it portrays love's torment as a bittersweet affliction binding the lover eternally. It holds strong cultural and emotional significance in Urdu literature, poetry, and everyday expressive language.
1 / 2: sauda
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

mushkil bahut hai un ko
jo rakhte hain aagahi
sauda, the ignorant
enjoy the most here
it is difficult for those
who are aware
