Heart''s desires and hopes

قال السيد الشريف: اَقُولُ: الْحَذّاءُ: السَّريعَةُ. وَ مِنَ النّاسِ مَنْ يَرْويهِ جَذّاءَ، بِالْجيم وَ الذّالِ، اَىِ انْقَطَعَ دَرُّها وَ خَيْرُها.
as-Sayyid ar-Raḍi says: “al-ḥadhdhā’” means rapid but some people have read it “jadhdhā’”. According to this version the meaning would be that the cycle of worldly enjoyments would end soon.
