باقة أزهار (بَاقةُ أَزْهَار)

Guldasta is a traditional Persian/Urdu feminine given name formed from gul (flower) + dasta/dasteh (bundle), literally 'a bouquet'. As a compound noun it is common in Persian and Urdu vocabulary and poetic usage to denote an arranged cluster of flowers or, metaphorically, a collection of beautiful things. The name is rare as a formal personal name today but is historically attested in Persianate literary usage as a descriptive term. It carries floral and aesthetic connotations rather than religious references, and therefore has no Quranic citation. Related names in similar semantic space include [[Gulchehra]] and [[Gulshan]].
