Meaning of

luxury; pleasure; indulgence

विलास; आनंद; भोग

عیش; لذت; عیش و عشرت

Persian

The word evokes a sense of opulence and indulgence, often associated with the pleasures of life that are both material and sensual. In poetry, it captures the allure of a life filled with comfort and the fleeting nature of such pleasures.

Poets often use this word to contrast the ephemeral nature of pleasure with the enduring struggles of life. It can evoke images of lavish feasts, opulent surroundings, or the quiet solitude of indulgence.

In poetry, 'aish-o-'ishrat' becomes a mirror reflecting the duality of human desires. It invites contemplation on the balance between indulgence and restraint.
