Hasrat woh tamanna hai jo kabhi poori nahi hoti. Hasrat dil ki gehraai mein chhupi rehti hai, aur shayari mein usse lafzon ka roop milta hai. Urdu shayari mein hasrat ka zikr aksar khushi ke nahi, dard ke saath hota hai. “Dil ki hasrat hi rah gayi” yeh ek aam misaal hai. Hasrat aur khwab mein fark hai hasrat woh hoti hai jo reh jaati hai, aur khwab woh hota hai jo poora ho sakta hai.
