2 Urdu couplets and shers with safina

safina(m): boat

Description of safina: The Urdu word safina means a ship or vessel, particularly one used for maritime travel or commerce. Unlike English nautical terms that distinguish between various ship types, safina encompasses a broader concept of seafaring vessels in traditional usage. Differs from the Arabic root, safina carries specific cultural resonance in Urdu poetry and literature. In classical Urdu verse, safina often appears metaphorically, representing life's journey across turbulent waters, symbolizing human struggle
