Persian · noun · Nature & the Garden

Aabshaar-e-Koh

आबशार-ए-कोह

said aab-SHAAR-e-KOH

Meaning

A mountain waterfall or cascade.

Literally: mountain waterfall

How Iqbal uses it

The mountain cascade leaping white down the cliff is Iqbal's image of exuberant, self-renewing energy in his highland world; its ceaseless plunge and roar belong to the same vocabulary of vigour as the eagle and the crag.

See it in the verse

Aabshaar-e-Koh in Iqbal’s couplets

Guzar-auqat kar leta hai ye koh o bayaban mein
Ki shahin ke liye zillat hai kar-e-ashiyan-bandi

It makes its living among mountains and wilderness, for to the falcon the building of a comfortable nest is a disgrace.
