Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: جانانه
Greetings,

I'm surprised to see the word جانانه used to qualify درگیری (fight), as according to my dictionaries جانانه = lovely / sweetheart.

Please see:

در عملیات کربلای پنج در روز 22/10/1365 به آرزوی بزرگ خود رسید و به لقاءالله پیوست. قبل از او دو برادرش حمید ومرتضی در راه دفاع از اسلام وایران به شهادت رسیده بودند. در جایی از وصیت نامه اش نوشته :
خداوندا از سر تقصیراتم بگذر و مرا بیامرز و در یک درگیری جانانه با کفار و از توی جبهه مرا به پیش خودت ببر

All the best, and many thanks,

satisfying , beautifully emphatic


Explanation:
Something that is "جانانه" is performed emphatically and with a full heart in a way that is often satisfying or praiseworthy. In today's Persian, it never means 'sweetheart'.

Examples:
پیروزی جانانه = a satisfying victory , a nice emphatic victory
کتک جانانه = a satisfying beating , a good beating
تلاش جانانه = a wholehearted and praiseworthy effort


The whole sentence can be translated as:

'O God, forgive my faults and take me to yourself from the war front and in a satisfying fight against the infidels.'
