Untitled[edit]

can somebody explians what ashq means? it has any connection with God?

We need a sufi here, but I think the sense is that in falling in love you forget yourself, and in forgetting yourself you discover god. Haiduc 22:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great article[edit]

Szhaider, you've done a great job expanding this article! I added some italics, fixed some minor grammar errors, added the Urdu and Hindi transliteratios, discussed the derivation of the word in the introduction, and provided some references. I hope you like the additions. Thanks again. Khuda hafiz, Anupam^Talk 05:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LISTEN MR IT HAS NOT COMPLETE STILL. BEWARE ABOUT HIS CHARACRERS TO KNOW COMPLETELY

Derivation of the word Ishq[edit]

"Ïshq" can't possibly be derived from a word "äshiqa" - Arabic just doesn't work that way. (Arabic words are derived from roots made up of 3 consonants, with very vague and generalised meanings). I see that your source is actually talking about the derivation of the word as used in Urdu and Persian - but he's still wrong, as the word is indeed derived from Arabic, and as I said, Arabic words derive from consonantal roots, not from whole words. I suggest you consult Weber's Arabic-English dictionary for the true derivation and range of meanings (the range of meanings is important - one word or Arabic will usually translate into twenty or so of English - Weber lists the most common first).

yes, you are right I have a better source telling that its roots are in Indo-European languages: On the origin of the word ešq. --Mmehdi.g (talk) 21:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ISHQ requires great sacrifice..once you fall in ishq with some one you can not do ishq with others its true ishq.. Ishq-e-majazi is important for Ishq-e-haqiqi.. Ishq-e-majazi is love for material thing..parents love,love between brothrs snd sisiters...but love to a girl is much important for Ishq-e-majazi..especialy this love leads to ishq-e-haqiqi.. in true love person thinks only about your beloved..try to make happy ever..bear its hateness and much more uable to describe.. ishq makes the life tough..because blover thinks only about beloved..nothing more and its imporatnt for ishq —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.220.215.12 (talk) 00:57, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Improving article[edit]

The list of tags on this article is surprising. Although an interesting article from the mystic's viewpoint, the article seems to be in a bad shape when complying to wiki's standards. Apart from the overall tone which is non-encyclopedic, the tags point out to the lack of references and verification. I also feel that content can also be added. I am going to work on this one as well. Others may help too. Pixarh (talk) 16:41, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ishq in Hindi[edit]

The page currently, as of this comment, claims that Ishq in Hindi means "lustless love". As a person who is fluent in both Hindi and Urdu, I find this unconvincing. In fact, I think the "lustlessness" is not an emotion that "ishq" evokes to me at all (and neither to my Hindi speaking roommate). We are both more convinced by the connotation of the "obsessive" love mentioned in the Urdu section. A quick example I can give of why this is the case is that I can't imagine I would tell my parents (also hindi/urdu speakers) that "mai aapse ishq karta hu". Instead, I'd tell them "mai aapse pyaar karta hu"–pyaar being the relatively lustless one. As such, for now, I've added a citation needed tag, but I suspect a larger re-write might be needed.

What further complicates this, and the way this section of the article is written, is that Hindi/Urdu can largely be considered as the same language with different formal registers. This means that while colloquial forms of the languages is practically the same "hindustani" language, they have different formal forms. That is, they might have some different words for formal applications such as words for democracy or for mathematical terms. However, with a word such as "ishq" frequently used colloquially I doubt the meaning changes very much, or even at all, between the two forms of the language. Perhaps this should be emphasized in the article–that it is "obsessive" love in both languages, and that it is used within Hindi often in the context of Bollywood, etc. IsfahanKaAasmaan (talk) 19:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
