بی قرار
Restless, impatient; unable to remain still or calm.
بی قرار en 30 secondes
- Restless, unable to be still or calm.
- Often due to excitement, anxiety, or impatience.
- Commonly used in everyday Persian and literature.
- Means 'without rest' or 'without calm'.
The Persian word 'بی قرار' (bi qarar) is an adjective that beautifully captures a state of unease, agitation, or lack of peace. Literally, 'بی' (bi) means 'without' and 'قرار' (qarar) means 'rest,' 'stability,' or 'calm.' So, 'بی قرار' directly translates to 'without rest' or 'without calm.'
This term is used to describe someone or something that is unable to settle down, find peace, or remain still. It can apply to a person who is physically fidgeting, mentally anxious, or emotionally unsettled. For instance, a child waiting for a gift might be 'بی قرار' with excitement, or someone worried about an upcoming event might be 'بی قرار' with anxiety. It can also describe a situation that is chaotic or unstable.
Think of it as a feeling of internal turbulence. When you are 'بی قرار,' your mind or body is constantly seeking a state of equilibrium but cannot find it. This can manifest as pacing, sighing, inability to concentrate, or a general feeling of being on edge. The word is versatile and can be used in various contexts, from everyday conversations to more literary or poetic expressions.
Consider the feeling of waiting for important news. You might find yourself unable to sit still, constantly checking your phone, and feeling a knot in your stomach. This is the essence of being 'بی قرار.' It's a state where peace eludes you, and a sense of urgency or disquiet prevails.
The word is commonly used to describe:
- Excitement
- A child eagerly awaiting a birthday party.
- Anxiety
- Someone waiting for exam results.
- Impatience
- A traveler stuck in a long queue.
- Discomfort
- A person in an uncomfortable physical position.
- Emotional Turmoil
- Someone experiencing inner conflict or distress.

Using 'بی قرار' (bi qarar) in sentences is quite straightforward, as it functions as a descriptive adjective. It can modify nouns (people, animals, abstract concepts) or be used with linking verbs like 'بودن' (budan - to be) or 'شدن' (shodan - to become).
When used before a noun, it directly describes that noun. For example, 'یک مرد بی قرار' (yek mard-e bi qarar) means 'a restless man.' However, it's more common to see it used predicatively, following the noun and a form of 'to be.'
Let's look at some common sentence structures:
- Subject + 'بودن' (to be) + بی قرار
- This is the most frequent construction. It describes someone or something as being in a state of restlessness.
او از دیشب بی قرار بود.
- Subject + 'شدن' (to become) + بی قرار
- This structure indicates a transition into a state of restlessness.
با شنیدن خبر، بی قرار شد.
- Describing abstract concepts or situations
- 'بی قرار' can also describe things that are not inherently calm.

The word 'بی قرار' (bi qarar) is a very common and widely used term in everyday Persian conversation, literature, poetry, and media. You'll encounter it in a multitude of situations, reflecting its broad applicability to human emotions and states of being.
Daily Conversations:
When friends or family members are talking about their feelings or experiences, 'بی قرار' is often used. For example, someone might say they are 'بی قرار' because they are waiting for a loved one to arrive, or because they are worried about a sick child. It's a natural way to express a lack of peace or contentment.
- Example Conversation
- Friend A: "چرا اینقدر راه میروی؟" (Why are you walking around so much?) Friend B: "نمیدانم، از صبح بی قرار هستم." (I don't know, I've been restless since morning.)
Literature and Poetry:
'بی قرار' is a staple in Persian poetry, where it's used to describe the yearning of lovers, the anxieties of life, or the spiritual quest for peace. Poets often use it to evoke strong emotions and a sense of longing.
- Poetic Example
- The famous poet Rumi frequently uses themes of restlessness in his search for the divine. A line might read something like: "جانم بی قرار است و در پی وصال." (My soul is restless and in search of union.)
Media and News:
In news reports, 'بی قرار' might describe the mood of a population facing uncertainty, the volatile nature of financial markets, or the unrest in a particular region. It's a concise way to convey a sense of instability or agitation.
- News Context
- "پس از زلزله، مردم در شهرهای آسیبدیده بی قرار بودند و نگران آینده." (After the earthquake, people in the affected cities were restless and worried about the future.)
Describing Animals and Nature:
While most commonly used for humans, it can also be used metaphorically for animals or even abstract phenomena that exhibit erratic or unsettled behavior.
- Animal Behavior
- "گربه از ترس صداهای بلند بی قرار شده بود." (The cat had become restless from fear of the loud noises.)
While 'بی قرار' (bi qarar) is a common word, learners might make a few mistakes when using it. Understanding these potential pitfalls can help you use the word more accurately and naturally.
Mistake 1: Confusing 'بی قرار' with 'عصبی' (asabi - nervous/angry) or 'مضطرب' (moztareb - anxious).
While there's overlap, 'بی قرار' specifically points to a lack of stillness or calm, often due to excitement, anticipation, or impatience, as well as anxiety. 'عصبی' leans more towards irritability or anger, and 'مضطرب' is more focused on a state of worry or unease.
- Incorrect Usage
- او از دست من بی قرار بود. (He was restless because of me.) - *This could imply he was agitated or impatient, but if he was angry, 'عصبی' would be better.*
- Correct Usage
- او از دیشب بی قرار بود چون منتظر خبر بود. (He had been restless since last night because he was waiting for news.) - *This clearly indicates unease due to waiting.*
Mistake 2: Incorrect placement in the sentence.
As mentioned, 'بی قرار' is an adjective. It's most commonly used predicatively after a verb like 'بودن' (to be) or 'شدن' (to become). Placing it directly before a noun without proper grammatical structure can sound unnatural.
- Incorrect Usage
- مرد بی قرار راه میرفت. (The man restless was walking.) - *Grammatically awkward.*
- Correct Usage
- مرد بی قرار بود و راه میرفت. (The man was restless and was walking.) OR مرد بی قرار، راه میرفت. (The restless man was walking.) - *The latter uses it attributively, which is less common but possible.*
Mistake 3: Overusing it for mild fidgeting.
While 'بی قرار' can describe physical restlessness, it often carries a deeper sense of emotional or mental unease. For very minor physical fidgeting, other words might be more appropriate, or the context needs to clearly indicate it's just physical.
- Overuse Example
- او در صندلی بی قرار بود. (He was restless in the chair.) - *This is acceptable, but if the restlessness is very slight, perhaps just shifting position, it might sound a bit strong.*
- Alternative for Mild Fidgeting
- او در صندلی وول میخورد. (He was squirming in the chair.) - *'وول خوردن' is more specific for physical fidgeting.*
'بی قرار' (bi qarar) is a rich word with several synonyms and related terms in Persian, each carrying slightly different nuances. Understanding these differences will help you express yourself more precisely.
1. مضطرب (moztareb)
- Meaning:
- Anxious, worried, uneasy. This term focuses more on the mental state of worry and apprehension.
- Usage Comparison:
- While someone who is 'بی قرار' might also be 'مضطرب,' not all 'مضطرب' people are necessarily physically restless. 'مضطرب' is primarily about internal worry.
- Example:
- او از نتیجه امتحان مضطرب بود. (He was anxious about the exam result.) - *Here, 'بی قرار' could also work, but 'مضطرب' emphasizes the worry.*
2. آشفته (aashefteh)
- Meaning:
- Disturbed, upset, disheveled (can refer to appearance or state of mind). It implies a lack of order or composure.
- Usage Comparison:
- 'آشفته' can describe a messy appearance or a state of emotional turmoil. 'بی قرار' is more about the inability to settle or find peace, often with a physical component.
- Example:
- موهایش آشفته بود. (Her hair was disheveled.) OR او در آن شرایط آشفته بود. (He was upset/disturbed in that situation.)
3. بیتاب (bi taab)
- Meaning:
- Impatient, unable to bear or endure. 'تاب' (taab) means endurance or patience. This word strongly emphasizes impatience and eagerness for something to happen or end.
- Usage Comparison:
- 'بیتاب' is very close to 'بی قرار' but leans more towards impatience. You can be 'بی قرار' due to excitement, but 'بیتاب' often implies a more negative feeling of not being able to wait.
- Example:
- کودک بیتاب باز شدن کادو بود. (The child was impatient to open the gift.) - *Here, 'بی قرار' would also fit, but 'بیتاب' highlights the impatience.*
4. بیصبر (bi sabr)
- Meaning:
- Impatient. 'صبر' (sabr) means patience. This is a direct and common word for impatience.
- Usage Comparison:
- 'بیصبر' is almost synonymous with 'بیتاب' when referring to impatience. 'بی قرار' is broader and can include states beyond just impatience, like anxiety or restless excitement.
- Example:
- او خیلی بیصبر است و نمیتواند منتظر بماند. (He is very impatient and cannot wait.)
5. ناآرام (naa-aaraam)
- Meaning:
- Unquiet, disturbed, restless. This is a very close synonym to 'بی قرار'.
- Usage Comparison:
- 'ناآرام' and 'بی قرار' are often interchangeable. 'ناآرام' might sometimes feel slightly more formal or literary, but both convey the same core meaning of lacking peace or stillness.
- Example:
- کودک در گهواره ناآرام بود. (The baby was restless in the cradle.)

Le savais-tu ?
The root 'قرار' (qarar) is related to the Arabic word 'qaraar' (قرار), which also means 'rest', 'stability', or 'decision'. The Persian usage is consistent with this core meaning. The word has been used in Persian literature for centuries, notably in classical poetry.
Guide de prononciation
- Pronouncing 'ق' (qaf) as 'ک' (kaf) or 'غ' (ghayn). The 'ق' is a unique sound in Persian.
- Incorrect vowel sounds, particularly the 'a' sounds in 'qarar'.
- Placing stress on the wrong syllable.
Niveau de difficulté
The word itself is common (B1), but understanding its nuances and metaphorical uses, especially in poetry or complex texts, requires higher proficiency. Recognizing its connection to anxiety, excitement, and impatience is key.

FigurativeFacile à confondre
Both describe a state of unease and can lead to similar outward behaviors like fidgeting.
'مضطرب' (moztareb) specifically refers to anxiety and worry. 'بی قرار' (bi qarar) is broader and refers to a lack of stillness or calm, which can be caused by anxiety, but also by excitement, impatience, or anticipation. You can be 'بی قرار' with excitement, but you are usually 'مضطرب' due to worry.
او از امتحان بی قرار بود (He was restless due to the exam - could be nerves or eagerness). او از نتیجه امتحان مضطرب بود (He was anxious about the exam result - clearly worry).
Both imply a lack of patience and a desire for something to happen.
'بیتاب' (bi taab) strongly emphasizes impatience and the inability to wait or endure. It's often used when someone is eagerly anticipating something. 'بی قرار' (bi qarar) is more general restlessness, which can include impatience but also anxiety, excitement, or a general inability to settle down.
کودک بی تاب باز شدن هدیه بود (The child was impatient to open the gift). او از دیشب بی قرار بود چون منتظر خبر بود (He had been restless since last night because he was waiting for news - broader unease).
They are very close synonyms and often interchangeable.
'ناآرام' (na-aaraam) and 'بی قرار' (bi qarar) both mean restless or unquiet. 'بی قرار' is perhaps slightly more common in everyday speech, while 'ناآرام' can sometimes feel a bit more formal or literary, but the core meaning is the same: lacking peace or stillness.

Both describe a state of agitation and can involve physical manifestations.
'عصبی' (asabi) means nervous or angry. It implies irritability, being easily provoked, or being on edge due to anger or frustration. 'بی قرار' (bi qarar) is about lack of stillness and calm, which can be driven by excitement, anxiety, or impatience, not necessarily anger.
او از حرفهایش عصبی شد (He got angry/nervous from his words). او از انتظار بی قرار بود (He was restless from waiting).
Both relate to a lack of patience.
'بیصبر' (bi sabr) directly translates to 'impatient'. It focuses solely on the inability to wait.

You can be 'بی قرار' without being specifically impatient.
او خیلی بی صبر است و نمیتواند منتظر بماند (He is very impatient and cannot wait). او از صبح بی قرار بود چون باید منتظر میماند (He was restless since morning because he had to wait - implies more than just impatience).

Comment l'utiliser
High. This is a very common word in Persian.
-
Confusing 'بی قرار' with 'عصبی' (angry/nervous).
→
Use 'بی قرار' for general restlessness and lack of calm, and 'عصبی' for anger or strong irritation.
'بی قرار' describes an inability to stay still, often due to excitement or anxiety. 'عصبی' implies being on edge due to anger or frustration. Example: 'او از انتظار بی قرار بود' (He was restless from waiting), not 'عصبی'. 'او از حرفهایت عصبی شد' (He got angry from your words).
-
Using 'بی قرار' only for negative emotions.
→
Recognize that 'بی قرار' can also describe positive restlessness due to excitement or anticipation.
While 'بی قرار' often relates to anxiety or worry, it's also used for positive states. For example, 'کودکان قبل از عید بی قرار بودند' (Children were restless before Eid) implies excitement, not distress. The context clarifies the emotion.
-
Incorrect grammatical placement.
→
Use 'بی قرار' as a predicative adjective (e.g., 'او بی قرار است') or with verbs like 'شدن' (to become).
While it can sometimes precede a noun attributively, it's more natural and common to use it after the subject and a linking verb. Example: 'مرد بی قرار بود' (The man was restless) is more common than 'مرد بی قرار راه میرفت' (The restless man was walking - sounds slightly awkward without proper phrasing).
-
Overusing 'بی قرار' for very mild fidgeting.
→
Consider more specific verbs for minor physical movements if the restlessness is not significant.
For slight physical fidgeting, words like 'وول خوردن' (to squirm) might be more precise. 'بی قرار' often implies a deeper emotional or mental state of unease.
-
Confusing 'بی قرار' with 'قرار' (rest/stability).
→
Understand that 'بی قرار' means the *lack* of 'قرار'.
Since 'بی' means 'without', 'بی قرار' is the opposite of 'قرار'. Confusing them would lead to expressing the exact opposite meaning. Example: 'او قرار ندارد' means 'He is restless/unsettled', while 'او قرار دارد' means 'He is settled/calm'.
Astuces
Mastering the 'ق' sound
The Persian letter 'ق' (qaf) is a guttural sound produced at the back of the throat. Practice saying 'قرار' (qarar) by trying to make a sound similar to the 'ch' in Scottish 'loch' but further back. Listen to native speakers and mimic them.
Connect with Antonyms
Understanding the antonyms like 'آرام' (calm) and 'قرار' (rest) can solidify your grasp of 'بی قرار'. Visualize the contrast: a person 'بی قرار' versus a person 'آرام'.
Break it Down
Remember 'بی' means 'without'. So, 'بی قرار' literally means 'without rest'. This simple breakdown can be a powerful memory aid.
Sentence Creation
Try creating your own sentences using 'بی قرار' in different contexts. Describe yourself, a friend, a character in a book, or even a situation. The more you practice, the more natural it will become.

Use it Actively
Don't be afraid to use 'بی قرار' in your spoken Persian. Start with simple sentences and gradually incorporate it into more complex expressions as you gain confidence.
Mémorise-le
Moyen mnémotechnique
Imagine someone who is so 'بی قرار' (bi qarar) that they can't even sit down to have their 'قرار' (qarar - tea/rest). They are pacing back and forth, unable to find their 'قرار'. The 'بی' (bi) prefix clearly indicates the absence of this desired state.
Association visuelle
Picture a person on a very hot day, unable to sit still, constantly shifting positions, fanning themselves, and looking uncomfortable. They are 'بی قرار' because they can't find comfort or 'قرار'. Alternatively, visualize a spinning top that is about to fall – it's full of energy but lacks stability, hence 'بی قرار'.
Word Web
Défi
Try to describe a time you felt 'بی قرار'. Was it due to excitement, anxiety, or something else? Write a short paragraph in Persian using the word 'بی قرار' and at least two synonyms or related words you learned.
Origine du mot
The word 'بی قرار' is a compound word formed from two Persian roots. 'بی' (bi) is a common prefix meaning 'without', 'lacking', or 'un-'. 'قرار' (qarar) is an Old Persian word meaning 'rest', 'stability', 'calmness', or 'firmness'. Therefore, 'بی قرار' literally translates to 'without rest' or 'without stability'.
Sens originel : Lacking rest or stability.
Indo-Iranian (Persian)Contexte culturel
While 'بی قرار' can describe excitement, it's often associated with negative feelings like anxiety or worry. Be mindful of the context when using it, ensuring it doesn't sound dismissive of someone's genuine distress.
In English, 'restless', 'impatient', 'anxious', and 'agitated' are common translations. The nuances can be captured by the context, but 'restless' often implies a physical inability to stay still, while 'anxious' points to worry, and 'impatient' to a desire for something to happen sooner.
