Contexte culturel
In classical poetry, 'hasrat' is often the 'hasrat-e didar' (longing for the sight of the beloved). It is considered a noble pain. Iranians use 'hasrat' to describe the feeling of seeing the diaspora's lifestyle compared to local economic struggles. The 'Day of Regret' (Ruz-e Hasrat) is a common religious term for the afterlife, emphasizing the importance of current actions. Parents often use 'hasrat' as a tool to motivate children, warning them they will regret not studying later.
