Parhezgaar
परहेज़गार
said par-hez-gaar
also written: Parhezgar
Meaning
An abstinent, scrupulously pious person who avoids all that is forbidden.
Literally: one who practises abstinence, the cautious-pious
Usage & notes
The parhezgaar's careful abstinence is, in the ghazal idiom, often contrasted with the rind's bold love. Iqbal weighs such cautious piety against the daring of a self set aflame by love and finds the latter the higher virtue.
