मुदावा
mudāwā
hinoun
Meaning
Cure, remedy, treatment, or relief.
Detailed Meaning
Mudawa denotes a remedy, healing treatment, or cure for suffering or sickness. In this couplet, it refers to the ironical cure for the speaker's turbulent madness, which can only be subdued by stones (sang). It portrays how extreme passion finds its remedy not in medicine, but in self-destruction or suffering.
Etymology
Arabic (mudāwāh / مداواة), verbal noun from the root d-w-y (to treat or medicate).
Usage
In classical ghazal poetry, 'mudawa' is routinely invoked alongside incurable conditions of love, contrasting clinical medicines with the fatal afflictions of passion.
Examples
There is no cure for this wound of separation.
They sought a remedy for their afflicted heart.
