Meaning
Growth, sprouting, developing, or springing up.
Detailed Meaning
'Nashv' denotes growth, development, or rising up from seed or origin. In this couplet, it forms part of the compound 'nashv-o-numā' (growth and display), which Ghalib uses to evaluate the abundance of the blooming season. The poet considers spring deficient in its growth unless the flower becomes a full robe for the tall cypress.
Etymology
Arabic root ن-ش-أ (n-sh-'), relating to growing, originating, or rising up.
Usage
In classical Urdu poetry, 'nashv' almost exclusively appears compounded with 'numā' as 'nashv-o-numā' to symbolize flourishing development.
Examples
A seed requires proper soil for its nashv.
The plant lacked sufficient water for nashv-o-numa.
