1 Urdu couplets and shers with ittiqaa

ittiqaa(m): restraint, abstinence

Description of ittiqaa: The search results provided contain only YouTube music videos and playlists featuring "Ittiqaa Tafarii," an Oromo music artist, rather than information about the Urdu word "ittiqaa" itself. I cannot write the requested explanation based on these results. To properly explain the Urdu word "ittiqaa" with the specified structure and word count, I would need search results containing linguistic or dictionary information about Urdu vocabulary, Islamic terminology, or related cultural sources.
