2 Urdu couplets and shers with lambi

lambi(f): long

Description of lambi: Lambi is a Haitian Creole term for conch, a large sea snail prized in Caribbean cuisine for its firm, slightly sweet meat. Unlike everyday seafood like fish, lambi requires extensive tenderizing and long simmering due to its toughness. Differs from conch preparations in other regions, as Haitian versions boldly feature epis seasoning, garlic, peppers, and herbs for special occasions. In poetry, it evokes the sea's resilience and cultural feasts.
