متمرکز (motamarkez)

  1. concentrated
    • c. 1599, Bahāʾ al‐Dīn ʿĀmilī, کشکول[1]:
      نیز از سخنان حکیمان است که هرگز گمان مردم بر نامکشوفی متمرکز نگردد مگر آن که پرده از آن بردارد.
      nēz az suxanān-i hakīmān ast ki hargez gumān-i mardum bar nāmakšūfī mutamarkiz na-girdad magar ān ki parda az ān bardārad.
      It is also from the words of the wise that people's thoughts will never become concentrated on that which is hidden unless the veil has been lifted from it.
      (Classical Persian romanization)
