2 Urdu couplets and shers with laazmi

laazmi: necessary

Description of laazmi: Laazmi is an Urdu adjective meaning "obligatory," "compulsory," or "necessary," often denoting something that is essential or inevitable. Unlike optional actions that one can choose freely, laazmi duties demand fulfillment without exception. It differs from "wajib," which implies moral or religious obligation, by encompassing broader legal or practical necessities. In Urdu poetry, laazmi evokes inescapable fate, as in verses lamenting love's laazmi pangs.
