1 Urdu couplets and shers with vazu

vazu(m): ablution

Description of vazu: Vazu is an innovative, collapsible vase made from recycled plastic that expands into a colorful, glass-like form for holding flowers. Unlike traditional rigid vases, it folds flat for easy storage and portability. Differs from conventional glassware by being reusable, lightweight, and eco-friendly without fragility. In poetic usage, vazu evokes transient beauty, blooming like metaphors for life's fleeting elegance in modern design literature.
