नज़ारा-सोज़

Meaning

Burning or dazzling the sight; blindingly brilliant to behold.

Detailed Meaning

A poetic compound describing an overwhelming beauty or radiant spectacle so dazzling that it figuratively scorches or blinds the onlooker's vision. In the couplet, it denotes the divine or beloved's intense brilliance that rivals the midday sun, making an actual veil unnecessary because the gaze itself is consumed.

Etymology

Compound of Arabic 'nazzārah' (sight, spectacle, gaze) and Persian 'sōz' (burning/inflaming, present stem of sōkhtan).

Usage

Frequently used in classical Urdu poetry to convey the lethal or unendurable splendor of divine illumination (tajalli) or supreme beauty.
