Zamzama

ज़मज़मा
Meaning

A melodious humming, warbling, or chanting; a rippling musical strain.

Usage & notes

Zamzama evokes the warbling, soaring strain of song; Iqbal used such melody-words for the music he wished to be vital rather than merely sweet. He set the soaring strain against the soft lullaby of decline.
