رسوایی • (rosvâyi) (plural رسوایی‌ها (rosvâyi-hâ))

scandal, disgrace, dishonour
― rosvâyi-ye jensi ― sex scandal
- c. 1580, Vahshī Bāfqī, “شرح پریشانی”, in گزیده اشعار [Selected Poems]‎:
  عشقِ من شد سببِ خوبی و رعناییِ او
  داد رسوایی من شهرتِ زیباییِ او
  بس که دادم همه‌جا شرحِ دلاراییِ او
  شهر پُر گشت ز غوغایِ تماشاییِ او
  išq-i man šud sabab-i xūbī u ra'nāyī-yi ō
  dād ruswāyī-yi man šuhrat-i zēbāyī-yi ō
  bas ki dādam hama jā šahr-i dilārāyī-yi ō
  šahr pur gašt zi ğawğā-yi tamāšāyī-yi ō
  My love was responsible for her fairness and charms;
  My infamy gave her the fame of her beauty;
  Everywhere, so often did I explain how she adorned men's hearts,
  The town became full of the tumult of men wanting to see her.
  (Classical Persian transliteration)
