aazaar(m): sickness, ailment, hardship

Description of aazaar: Aazaar is an Urdu word meaning harm, injury, or affliction inflicted upon someone, often deliberately or through misfortune. Unlike nuqsaan, which denotes material loss or damage, aazaar emphasizes physical or emotional torment. It differs from takleef by implying malice or severe adversity rather than mere discomfort. In Urdu poetry, it evokes the anguish of unrequited love, as in Ghalib's verses lamenting the aazaar of separation.
