Noun

بیداری • (bidâri)

wakefulness, vigilance, watch
- c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume II, verse 41:
  ز آنکه بیگلزار بلبل خامش است
  غیبت خورشید بیداری کش است
  za ānki bē-gulzār bulbul xāmuš ast
  ġaybat-i xwarshēd bēdārī kuš ast
  Because the nightingale is silent without the rose-garden:
  the absence of the sun kills (the nightingale's) wakefulness.
