marz(m): illness

Description of marz: Marz in Urdu means disease, illness, or ailment, referring to any physical or mental affliction. Unlike temporary discomforts like pain, it denotes a persistent pathological condition requiring treatment. Differs from bimari, which is a more colloquial synonym often used interchangeably in everyday speech. In Urdu poetry, it symbolizes profound emotional suffering, as in Ghalib's verses depicting love as an incurable marz.
