سوگوار • (sugvâr)

1. mournful; mourning
   • c. 1380, Jahān Malik Khātūn, “Ghazal 245”, in دیوان جهان [Divān-i Jahān]‎^[1]:

     غمزده‌ی سوگوار شب همه شب تا به روز
     بر در تو سر زند هیچ نگویی که کیست

     ğamzada-yi sōgwār-i šab hama šab tā ba rōz
     bar dar-i tu sar zanad hēč na-gūyī ke kī-st

     Every night until day, the mournful griever of the night
     Strikes his head against your door, but you never say, "Who's that?"
