naadim(m): sorry, regretful

Description of naadim: Naadim is an Urdu adjective meaning repentant, penitent, or regretful, derived from the Arabic root denoting remorse. Unlike its Arabic counterpart nad?m, which signifies a close friend or drinking companion, naadim conveys sorrow over past actions. Differs from mere sadness by implying active contrition and a desire for atonement. In Urdu poetry, it evokes the bashful shame of lovers regretting hasty words or separations.
