Meaning
A praiser, eulogist, or one who extols and glorifies.
Detailed Meaning
'Sata'ish-gar' denotes someone who showers praise or sings encomiums. In this couplet, it describes the ascetic ('zahid') who obsessively extols the splendors of heaven. The speaker diminishes this sacred paradise to nothing more than a forgotten trinket on the shelf of divine lovers.
Etymology
Persian compound formed from 'satāyish' (praise, commendation) and the agentive suffix '-gar' (maker or doer).
Usage
In ghazal poetry, the term frequently characterizes flatterers or the ascetic who eulogizes formal religion, placed in sharp contrast to the genuine mystic lover.
Examples
None was there to praise the indifferent beauty.
The world is a eulogist of power alone.
