دلبر
delbar
Term of EndearmentHeart-stealer; one who has stolen your heart — used for a beloved who captivates you completely.
"تو دلبر منی — (To delbar mani) — You are my heart-stealer."
Delbar comes from del (heart) + bordan (to take/steal). In Persian poetry, the beloved is often described as a delbar — someone whose beauty and presence takes hold of the heart without permission. Hafez and Rumi both used this word to describe the divine beloved, the one whose gaze alone is enough to undo you.
