2 Urdu couplets and shers with sajde
sajde(m): prostrate in prayer
Description of sajde: Sajde is an Urdu word meaning prostration or the act of bowing down with the forehead touching the ground in worship or reverence, especially during Islamic prayer . Unlike casual bowing, it signifies complete submission and humility before the divine. Differs from ruku, which is a partial bowing posture in salah. In poetry, sajde often symbolizes profound love or devotion, as in song lyrics equating a beloved to an object

i passed every threshold
