تنبیه • (tambih) (plural تنبیهات)

reprimand, reproach, warning
punishment
(archaic) awakening; rousing
- early 1200s, Farīd ud-Dīn ʿAṭṭār, مختارنامه [Mukhtārnāma]‎^[1]:
  چندان که ز مرگ میبگویم دل را
  تنبیه نمیاوفتد این غافل را
  čandān ki zi marg mē-bigūyam dil rā
  tambīh na-mē-ūftad īn ġāfil rā
  I spoke of death to my heart too often,
  So awakening never reached this heedless [heart].
