Word Meaning
नाज़ुक-मिज़ाज-तर
naazuk-mizaaj-tar
Meaning
More delicate-tempered, hypersensitive, or susceptible to emotional distress.
Detailed Meaning
This compound features the Persian comparative suffix '-tar' added to 'naazuk-mizaaj' (delicate-tempered). In the couplet, the lover claims to possess an emotional fragility even greater than the notoriously fastidious beloved. Consequently, a mere frown or knitted brow from the beloved proves fatal to the lover's sensitive spirit.
Etymology
Persian 'nāzuk' (tender/fragile) + Arabic 'mizāj' (temperament/humour) + Persian comparative suffix '-tar'.
Usage
In classical Urdu poetry, it is employed in comparative statements to highlight the hyper-vulnerability of the lover against the beloved's haughtiness.
Examples
being more fragile-tempered than a rose petal
an even more touchy heart wounded by a glance
