"In manzare zibā ast" describes a view or scene using manzare, and zibā is the standard word for aesthetic beauty — used for scenery, art, and appearance alike, unlike English which sometimes reaches for different words depending on context.
Where English speakers slip
Learners often stress the first syllable out of habit, saying "ZEE-bah" instead of "zee-BAH"; the emphasis needs to land on the final long ā. Keep both vowels genuinely long rather than clipping them to fit an English rhythm.
