Word Meaning
सब्ज़ा-ज़ार
sabza-zār
Meaning
A lush meadow, green lawn, or verdant expanse overgrown with grass.
Detailed Meaning
Literally denotes a luxuriant meadow or verdant garden bed. In this couplet, it is used with tragic irony: the 'greenery' covering the doors and walls of the sorrowful house is actually damp moss and wild weeds born of neglect and ruin. What sarcastically resembles flourishing spring is in fact an indicator of total decay.
Etymology
Persian compound formed from 'sabzah' (greenery, herbage) and the suffix '-zār' (a place abounding in).
Usage
In classical ghazal, it typically signifies flourishing nature and life, but can metaphorically denote the damp moss growing over ruins and abandoned dwellings.
Examples
The ruined courtyard turned into a desolate green expanse.
My weeping eyes made the dust of the lane a verdant lawn.
