Usage & notes
Mizaaj is the beloved's temperament — the shifting moods and disposition the lover must forever read and humor, the delicate weather of a beautiful nature. The ghazal is alert to it: the beloved's mizaaj turns warm and cold, and the lover's fortunes turn with it. To know the beloved's mizaaj is the courtier-lover's art, the careful study of a temperament on which all his hope depends.
