Nasreen
नसरीन
said nas-reen
also written: Nasrin, nasrin, wild rose, dog rose
Meaning
A kind of wild white rose, the fragrant dog-rose of Persian gardens.
Literally: wild white rose
Usage & notes
Nasreen is the wild white rose (or eglantine), a fragrant, delicate bloom of the garden's gentler register, often paired with jasmine as an emblem of pure, soft beauty. It belongs to the chorus of flowers that adorn the chaman. Iqbal uses it as part of the garden's tender population, a note of fragile loveliness among the bolder fire-flowers like the tulip.
