Meaning
To feel anxious or worried.
Cultural Background
Iranians often link 'delshooreh' to intuition. If someone feels it suddenly, they might call a family member just to check if they are okay, believing in a 'heart-to-heart' connection. In classical poetry, the 'agitation' of the heart is often compared to a restless sea, which is where the 'shoor' (churning) imagery originates.
