Difference among LOVE, ISHK and PYAAR
started by nanua 7 mnths agoReplies
It will depend more on the context with which or for whom all these 3 words are used....e.g all 3 could also stand for affection... love, ishq, pyaar can also be used in various scenarios & situations amongst lovers, relatives, god, etc.
Ishq doesnt get linked with non-human/non-God stuff...like objects, situations, scenarios, moments,etc
e.g: You can say " mujhe yeh music/yeh movie/yeh object/yeh samah/yeh waqt bahut pyaara lagta hain"..you dont say mujhe yeh music/movie se ishq huva hain.
Hi Rajee,
Ur observation is really remarkable. I like ur comment very much. In sanskrit u will find the diffrence among them. Goodone!

Language does play a role in the mindset of the audience - Whats the difference between G-aandu and A-sshole? Means same, but one is crude and filthy while other is somehow "ok" to many of colonial mindset, consciously or subconsciously.
SO = Significant Other.
Love = Generic term. Aap, Tum, Tu = You. Love to pets, parents, SO, plants, God, children. All is love.
Ishq = Always with SO only; Mohabbat, Prem.
Pyaar = Same as Love's definition above; Sneh = Affection.

its easy to swear in a foreign language as we don't really understand the impact of it. this is the reason most indians are comfortable saying 'i love you,' than the same phrase in their own native tongue. ask them to say the same thing in the native tongue and just watch their face :))

unless sung as in...... mujhe tum se mohabbat hai deewangi ki had tak.... even the thought of it sounds kinda cheesy.......
I think the superficial "Sorry-Thankyou culture" has mitigated the "depth" of such words to an extent.
Ozzies dont even consider "b-astard" an abuse anymore. Bandar saale :)
Someone needs to do research as to how a mere translation of the same word is perceived differently.

woh bhi ek point hai. 
Now, coming back to the original post -
Mujhe gazar ke halwe se Ishq ho gaya hai
intilo raamayya posted Re:{Shuunya} -- Whats the difference between G-aandu and A-sshole? on 7 mnths agohehe.. in my case, its unsayable.
har emotion ka ek naam hain. love, ishq, pyaar. but that doesn't mean one should go ahead and say it. the point will never get through, ulta, the word will lose its meaning
this line of thought reminds me of these lines by shelley:
"One word is too often profaned
For me to profane it"
its used in a completely different context though, apropos of an impossible love.
but a beautiful poem nevertheless. you familiar?
While some dont say it ever, or once in 10 years - "unsayable".
Why cant be there a balance? As in once a year?
Listen, I did not say that word "I love you" for over a long time more than the time span you mentioned. I started by accident and then regularly for some time now. Let me tell you it brings a lot more closeness than just being hidden in heart. It is a great experience.
Any way there is power in spoken words, and even if a fraction of it works, it is worth it.

coz these have become 'stock phrases', tht everybody uses, most of the time without even meaning to. so they lose their charm and attention, for you know, hardcore wordsmiths. :)
its abt realising the meaning of a word in its entirety.
very poignant poem. wonderful expression.
for any poet or artist, there is a disadvantage for being creative and able to express complex matters in creative ways, such as through poetry or through any other artistic expression. an artist runs through the risk of becoming a work of art this way. as the expression may be creative, but the thing being expressed can be real. the risk is that its so easy for anyone to trivialize, distort, and finally discard the whole thing as mere 'word play'.
thanks for the reference to shelly's poem as i wasn't familiar with it before :)
lollz, tht IS tragic!
but those who do not fathom and worse, ridicule it, stand to lose so much in the bargain, no?
thts punishing in itself.
lets change the subject. let's talk about creative expression. poets who are good at it will never search for a precise word from its dictionary meaning point of view, but choose the word based on how it sounds. based on the color and taste of the word. the way the word turns the tongue inside the mouth. then they add the context that will shift the meaning of the word to whatever they want.
consider paul celan's poem 'ther was earth inside them,' and the use of the word 'dig' in it. the repeated use of 'dig' in this poem suggests that it means something like 'search' for a solution. but the solution sought isn't spiritual or heavenly, even though they believe that god wanted it and is their witness. the solution being sought is physical and earthly as opposed to spiritual and heavenly. as they are digging the earth, within themselves.
i have a one more paul celan's poems that i like a lot. will post it during the weekend :)
you think so? :)
ok heres one, tell me wht you think of it., rather wht you make of it.
I don't know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I don't know how or when,
no, they were not voices, they were not
words, nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abruptly from the others,
among violent fires
or returning alone,
there I was without a face
and it touched me.
- pablo neruda.
i'll give it a try in the evening. thanks for the neruda poem :)
you removed the crucial couple of lines from the poem and what was supposed to be 'poetry' became 'shame' for me :)
anyways, since every poem is a lazy device that asks the reader to do some of its work. i tried to supply the missing context from my side, and my current workings made it look like 'shame'.. :(
thanks for the exercise :p
sunkan:
You seem to have hit the nail on the head and not on the thumb. It is only a confused mind that will try to conjugate these three words, one from the English Language, which is an omnibus word, and the other two either from Urdu, Hindi or Hindusthani which has distinct meanings, rules of usage which even a person with ordinary common knowledge will not misinterpret or misunderstand. Some what like these words in Sanskrit.
Prema, Vatsalya, Kama or Moha.
Prema =Love towards Divinity.
Vatsalya = Love towards offsprings.
Kama = Love between mortals of opposite sexes.
Moha = Excessive love for the neighbour's husband or wife.
