غالب • (ğâleb)

  1. dominant, major
    • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume II, verse 1418:
      حکم آن خور است کان غالبتر است
      چون که زر بیش از مس آید آن زر است‏
      hakm ān xūr ast k-ān ğalib-tar ast
      čōn ki zar bēš as mis āyad ān zar ast
      To the disposition that is preponderant belongs the decision (as to what you are):
      when the gold is more than the copper, it (the mixture) is gold.
  2. victorious, conqueror
