2 Urdu couplets and shers with dafan
dafan: bury
Description of dafan: Dafan is an Urdu word meaning "burial" or "funeral," referring to the Islamic rite of interring the deceased in a simple grave. Unlike cremation prevalent in Hindu traditions, dafan preserves the body intact as per religious mandates. It differs from janaza, which is the ritual washing and shrouding beforehand. In Urdu poetry, dafan evokes metaphors of eternal rest or forgotten sorrows.

main kahaan dafan hoon
kuchh pataa to chale
bring the shovels
dig into the depths of the earth
so i may find out
where i am buried

mere pate se khalaq ko
kyon tera ghar mile?
