2 Urdu couplets and shers with taaseer

taaseer(m): force, impact

Description of taaseer: Taaseer is an Urdu word meaning the inherent effect, impact, or essential nature of something. Like how water's taaseer is wetness or the sun's taaseer is heat, it describes the intrinsic quality that defines an object or person. Unlike English words such as "effect" or "impact," taaseer captures something deeper—the fundamental, unchangeable nature embedded within. Differs from mere consequence, taaseer represents the essential character that naturally emanates from something's core
