Sanobar
सनोबर
said sa-NO-bar
also written: sanaubar, pine, fir
Meaning
The pine or fir; a tall evergreen often paired with the cypress as an image of upright grace.
Literally: pine / fir
Usage & notes
The sanobar is the pine or fir, paired with the cypress as one of the garden's tall, graceful, upright trees and likewise an image of the beloved's slender stature. Its evergreen height makes it a figure of constancy and poise. Iqbal sets it among the emblems of straight, free-standing dignity, kin to the sarv in suggesting a bearing that neither stoops nor wavers.
