Inkisaari

इंकिसारी
said in-ki-SAA-ri
also written: inkisari, inkisar
Meaning

Humility, meekness, a self-effacing lowliness of bearing.

Literally: From inkisaar, a breaking; the breaking-down of pride.

Usage & notes

Genuine inkisaari before the Divine is praiseworthy, but Iqbal warns against a meekness that hollows out the ego; the believer bows to God yet stands tall before the world.
