deewani(f): mad person
Description of deewani: Deewani is an Urdu word meaning a woman consumed by intense, often irrational love or madness, portraying obsessive passion bordering on insanity. Unlike platonic affection, it evokes uncontrollable longing that disrupts reason and daily life. Differs from mere infatuation by implying a deeper, frenzied devotion akin to poetic torment. In Urdu literature, it appears in ghazals like those of Mirza Ghalib, symbolizing the lover's ecstatic surrender to unrequited desire.
