هوس • (havas)

  1. violent desire; lust; passion; shallow love
    هوس را با عشق اشتباه نکن.
    havas râ bâ 'ešq eštebâh na-kon.
    Do not confuse lust with love.
    • c. 1580, Vahshī Bāfqī, “شرح پریشانی”, in گزیده اشعار [Selected Poems]:
      گر چه از خاطر وحشی هوس روی تو رفت
      وز دلش آرزوی قامت دلجوی تو رفت
      شد دل‌آزرده و آزرده‌دل از کوی تو رفت
      با دل پر گله از ناخوشی خوی تو رفت
      gar či az xâtir-i wahšî hawas-i rôy-i tu raft
      w-az dil-aš ârzû-yi qâmat-i diljôy-i tu raft
      šud dil-âzarda u âzarda-dil az kôy-i tu raft
      bâ lab-i pur gila az nâxwašî-yi xôy-i tu raft
      Although the lust for your face has left Vahshī’s mind
      And the desire for your comforting stature has left his heart
      Vexed, he has left your street with a sore heart
      He has left with lips full of complaint at your ill behavior.
      (Classical Persian transliteration)
