Be-niyazi

बे-नियाज़ी
also written: Beniyazi
Meaning

Sublime indifference and self-sufficiency; the beloved's need of no one.

Usage & notes

The beloved's be-niyazi is both cruelty and majesty; Iqbal elevates it into a divine attribute, the self-subsisting aloofness of God that the lover must adore even as it excludes him.
