Persian · noun · Character & Virtue
Daanish
दानिश
said DAA-nish
also written: danish, daanish-mandi
Meaning
Wisdom, practical good sense, sagacity in judgement.

Usage & notes
Daanish is worldly wisdom and prudence; Iqbal often plays the cool wisdom of the West and the head against the fire of love and the heart, prizing wisdom only when it serves a living faith.
