Persian · noun · The Heart & the Body

Bechaini

बेचैनी
also written: Be-chaini
Meaning

Uneasiness, restlessness, disquiet.

Literally: From be- (without) and chain (ease): the state of being without ease.

Usage & notes

Bechaini, like beqaraari, marks the heart that has lost its ease; Iqbal turns this disquiet into a virtue, the wakeful unrest of a soul that will not settle for less than its destiny.
