Persian · noun · The Heart & the Body

Andesha

अंदेशा
said an-de-shaa
Meaning

Apprehension, anxious thought, or fear of what may come, the heart's brooding over possible harm.

Literally: thought, consideration, dread

How Iqbal uses it

Andesha is thinking turned anxious, the mind circling a feared future. Iqbal contrasts the timid heart trapped in andesha with the bold self that acts in faith, refusing to be paralysed by dread.
