mitti(f): dirt, clay, earth

Description of mitti: Mitti is the Urdu word for soil or earth, referring to the loose, fertile upper layer of ground essential for plant growth. Unlike sand, which drains quickly and lacks nutrients, mitti retains moisture and supports agriculture. Differs from pathar as it is soft, organic, and decomposes over time. In Urdu poetry, mitti symbolizes the human body, returning to dust after death, as in verses evoking mortality and humility.
