Persian · noun · Time, Fate & the Cosmos
Mah
माह
said maah
also written: mah-e-kamil, chand
Meaning
The moon.
How Iqbal uses it
A measure of completeness the rising self threatens to outshine. The stars fear that the soaring of earth-born man — “this fallen star” — might yet “become the full moon (mah-e-kamil).” The human ascent unsettles even the lights of heaven.
