aashtī

Meaning
Peace, reconciliation, concord, compromise, or truce.
Detailed Meaning
In Persian and classical Urdu poetry, 'aashtī' denotes concord, reconciliation, or cessation of hostility. In this couplet, it ironizes an inactive peace between the senses: because there is neither the sight of beauty for the eyes nor good news of union for the ears, the two senses have struck an idle truce of deprivation. It represents an enforced stillness born of absence.
Etymology
Persian (آشتی), from Middle Persian roots signifying peace, concord, and reconciliation.
Usage
Commonly contrasted with 'jang' (war) or 'ranjish' (estrangement) to express an emotional compromise or an uneasy quiet.
Examples
A fleeting peace between restless senses.
A pact of silence in the absence of hope.
