WORD OF THE DAY

KHastagii

ख़स्तगी
خستگی

means

brokeness, brittleness, crispiness, the state of being wounded or injured, sickness

'āshiqoñ kī ḳhastagī bad-hālī kī parvā nahīñ

ai sarāpā-nāz tū ne be-niyāzī ḳhuub kī

Interpretation: Rekhta AI

The speaker laments the beloved’s coldness: even when lovers are worn down and ruined, she shows no concern. “Sarapa naaz” paints her as made entirely of pride, while “be-niyazi” becomes a deliberate stance rather than a simple neglect. The emotional core is helpless devotion facing a beautifully indifferent beloved, where the lover’s pain only highlights her unfeeling grace.
