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
