Persian · noun · Iqbal's Emblems

Kabutar

कबूतर
said ka-boo-tar
also written: Kabootar
Meaning

Variant spelling of the pigeon or dove, the soft homing bird of the courtyard.

Usage & notes

As with kabootar, this is the emblem of the safe, dependent life lived under another's roof. It throws into relief Iqbal's call to the high, self-reliant flight of the predator bird.
