1 Urdu couplets and shers with ishrat
ishrat(f): enjoyment, pleasure
Description of ishrat: Ishrat is an Urdu word meaning delight, joy, or amusement, often denoting lively enjoyment or pleasure. Unlike more somber terms like sukoon , it conveys spirited happiness and social revelry. Differs from khushi by emphasizing playful or festive interactions. In Urdu poetry, it evokes romantic dalliance, as in Ghalib's verses celebrating love's fleeting joys. It holds strong cultural and emotional significance in Urdu literature, poetry, and everyday expressive language.
