Persian · noun · The Heart & the Body

Tanhaai

तन्हाई
also written: Tanhai
Meaning

Solitude, loneliness; aloneness.

Usage & notes

Tanhaai is double-edged in Iqbal: the painful loneliness of the estranged heart and the fertile solitude in which the self deepens; he values the productive aloneness in which one communes with God and one's own depths.
