2 Urdu couplets and shers with shiddat

shiddat(f): intensity, dedication, devotion

Description of shiddat: Shiddat is an Urdu word meaning intense passion, fervor, or extreme emotional ardor, often denoting unwavering commitment or obsession in love or pursuit. Unlike milder affections, it implies a relentless, all-consuming force that drives extraordinary actions. Differs from routine enthusiasm by evoking a profound, almost desperate depth of feeling. In poetry, it portrays lovers enduring trials, as in qawwalis where shiddat fuels transcendent devotion.
