2 Urdu couplets and shers with jhoom

jhoom(m): sway, dance

Description of jhoom: Jhoom is an Urdu word meaning to sway, swing, or dance rhythmically with a gentle, ecstatic motion, often evoking a trance-like state of joy or spiritual rapture. Unlike rigid or structured movements, it conveys a fluid, involuntary rocking as if moved by an inner force or breeze. Differs from mere dancing by implying an emotional or mystical abandon rather than deliberate steps. In poetry, it describes lovers swaying in bliss
