Qadd

क़द
said QADD
also written: Qad, qad, qadd-e, qaamat
Meaning

Stature; the height of the body.

Literally: height, stature, figure

Usage & notes

Qadd is the beloved's height or figure — the graceful stature praised in the same breath as the cypress, the upright bearing that the lover's eye travels with delight. Near-synonym to qaamat, it names beauty as poise and proportion, the whole standing form rather than a single feature. To praise the qadd is to admire the beloved entire, head to foot, in the elegance of simply standing there.
