Hindi word
ishq
“love / passion” in English
Literally: “passionate love” (an Arabic-origin word common in Hindi).
The most intense of the three — all-consuming, sometimes spiritual, sometimes obsessive love. It’s the dramatic, poetic word, heavy in poetry and music, often framed as a force that takes you over. Grand and literary rather than the love of the dinner table.
