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]‎^[4]:

     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)

2. capricious desire; temporary desire; whim

     جوانی معجب، خیره‌رایی، سرتیز، سبک‌پای که هر دم هوشی دزد و هر لحظه رایی زند […]

     jawānē mu'jib, xīra-rāy, sar-tēz, sabuk-pāy ki har dam hawasē pazad u har lahza rāyē zanad […]

     a conceited young man, self-willed, hot-headed, and light-footed, who entertains a different whim every moment and a different notion every instant […]

     (Classical Persian romanization)

3. aspiration; wish; inclination
4. eagerness
