2 Urdu couplets and shers with momin

momin(m): religious, pious

Description of momin: Momin is an Urdu word derived from Arabic, meaning a true believer with unwavering faith and complete submission to God's will. Unlike a nominal adherent, a momin embodies profound spiritual conviction that permeates every action. Differs from "muslim," which denotes one who submits outwardly, as momin signifies deeper, heartfelt iman. In Urdu poetry, like Momin Khan Momin's ghazals, it evokes divine love and eternal devotion.
