تقدیر • (taqdir) (plural تقدیرها (taqdir-hâ))

  1. fate, destiny, predestination
    • c. 1075, Abu'l-Fażl Muḥammad ibn Ḥusayn Bayhaqī, تاریخ بیهقی [Tārīkh-i Bayhaqī]:
      سوم روز احمد ارسلان‌ گفت: زندگانی خداوند دراز باد، آنچه تقدیر است ناچار بباشد، در غمناک بودن بس‌ فایده نیست.
      siwum rōz ahmad-i arslān guft: zindagānī-yi xudāwand darāz bād, ānči taqdīr ast nāčār bibāšad, dar ğamnāk budan bas fāyida nēst.
      On the third day, Ahmad Arslān said: "May my lord's life be long! What is preordained is unavoidable. There is no use in being sad any longer."
      (Classical Persian transliteration)
  2. approval, appreciation
    قابل تقدیر ― qâbel-e taqdir ― appreciable

    • 1611, ʿAbd al-Sattār ibn Qāsim Lāhōrī, مجالس جهانگیری [Majālis-i Jahāngīrī]:
      اگر بر تقدیر معقولیت میفرمایید پس باطلترین و نجسترین و گنده‌ترین دینها پیش من دین ایشان است بلكه دین هنود نزد من از دین ایشان بهتر!
      agar bar taqdīr-i ma'quliyat mē-farmāyēd pas bātiltarīn u najistarīn u gandatarīn-i dīn-hā pēš-i man dīn-i ēšān ast balki dīn-i hunūd nazd-i man az dīn-i ēšān bihtar!
      If you assess it based on plausibility, then my view is that the absurdest, the impurest, and the dirtiest of religions is theirs: I think the religion of the Hindus is better than theirs!
