Meaning of "nazan".
Abhishek Ranjan
What does the Urdu word "nazan" mean ? I might be mis-spelling
it. It could be "nazaan" or "naazaan".
Thanx,
Abhi.

thanks.
That makes me think that it should have been better than what ghalib
wrote.
"dil-e-naazzaaN tujhe huaa kya hai
aakhir is dard ki dawa kya hai"

Although Indo-Germanic languages have many common roots, Nazi from
naazaaN is a tad far fetched.
The word Nazi I think is a mere contraction from the German
'ioNAlsoZIalist' meaning National Socialist.
Abhishek, naazaaN IS used as a name, as in the famous qawwalii singer
Aziz NaazaaN, but I have always wondered why. I guess it can also mean
'proud' in a slightly positive manner.
Rawat, the ghalib she'r is:
'dil-e-nadaaN' and not 'dil-e-nazaaN'. naadaaN (naadaan), as you know,
is more like 'foolish' or 'innocent'.
