dil-aazaari(f): causing pain to heart

Description of dil-aazaari: Dil-aazaari refers to the torment or affliction of the heart, encompassing emotional pain, vexation of spirit, and deep anxiety. It describes the act of causing heartache or distress to someone through words or actions that wound the spirit. Unlike physical pain, dil-aazaari operates in the emotional and psychological realm, affecting one's inner peace and mental tranquility. Differs from mere sadness, it implies an active infliction of suffering upon another's heart.

magar ek wasf hai mujh mein
