2 Urdu couplets and shers with shokhi
shokhi(f): playfulness
Description of shokhi: Shokhi is a Urdu word denoting playful mischief, coquettish flirtation, or lively naughtiness, often evoking a sense of youthful exuberance and charm. Unlike stern reprimands or overt rebellion, it carries a light-hearted, endearing quality that invites smiles rather than disapproval. Differs from mere fun by implying a teasing, seductive edge, especially in romantic contexts. In Urdu poetry, shokhi describes the beloved's captivating whimsy, as in Ghalib's verses celebrating love's impish

na ho nigaah mein shokhi
to dilbari kya hai
only through the eyes
the heart is swayed
without a playful glance,
where is the charm
