مَقهُور
Beyond happy and sad
The moods that مبسوط and زعلان don't cover
"مَبسُوط" and "زَعلان" will carry you a long way, but they are blunt instruments. These five are the ones that let you say what you actually mean.
"مَقهُور" is the heaviest of them. It is the disappointment you feel when something unfair has happened and there is nothing to be done about it, and there is no single English word for it.
