Persian · noun · The Heart & the Body

Gudaz

गुदाज़

also written: Gudaaz

Meaning

Melting, dissolving; tender softening.

Usage & notes

Gudaz is the inward melting of the heart under love's heat; Iqbal pairs it with soz (burning) so that the candle's hadis-e-gudaz becomes the very story of a self consumed by ardour.
