ब-यक

Meaning

In a single; with one; at once.

Detailed Meaning

A Persian prepositional compound formed by 'ba' (in, with) and 'yak' (one), signifying 'in a single' or 'all in one'. In this verse, it underlines how an intense multiplicity—a flower made of a hundred blazing flames—is compressed and contained within just a single pocket of patience. It serves poetically to contrast intense, explosive magnitude with solitary containment.

Etymology

Persian: preposition 'ba' (to, by, in) + numeral 'yak' (one).

Usage

Commonly employed in classical ghazal to contrast overwhelming quantity or emotion with a singular, fleeting act or vessel.
