Urdu · noun · The Heart & the Body

Tadap-bechaini

तड़प-बेचैनी
said ta-rap-be-chai-nee
Meaning

The combined throb and unrest of a heart in acute longing, writhing and unable to find peace.

Literally: writhing and restlessness

Usage & notes

This paired phrase names the doubled torment of a yearning heart, both its throbbing tarap and its sleepless bechaini. Iqbal treats such intense restlessness as the engine of striving, never as a state to be soothed away.
