Did you know?
- If you were describing the 'lip' of a cup or a vessel in a formal Urdu context, you might use a different word entirely than the one for human lips.
- While ہونٹ is the standard word for lips, the Urdu language often uses the term لب (lab) in formal poetry and songs to evoke a more delicate or aesthetic feeling.
- The word ہونٹ is used as a singular noun in Urdu, but in English the word 'lips' is almost always plural when referring to the mouth.

- اس کے ہونٹ سرخ ہیں۔us ke hont surkh hain.Her lips are red.
