خداحافظ
/ Khodahafez /
Interjection · Goodbye; farewell. Literally 'may God be your protector.' The standard Persian farewell.
Meaning
معنی۱
Persian farewells carry more emotional weight than in English. Iranians routinely spend 20 minutes saying goodbye at a doorway. The culture treats separation as a meaningful moment, not a logistical one. This connects to the theme of duri (separation) in classical Persian poetry.
