हक़ीक़त

haqiqat

Arabic

Haqiqat derives from Arabic ḥaqīqa, meaning truth, reality, or actuality. In Sufi philosophy it represents the ultimate divine truth beyond surface appearance. In this lyric it contrasts beautifully with tamanna — desire and reality are not obliged to meet, echoing the ghazal's central philosophy.

Arabic: ḥaqīqa (حقیقت) — essential truth, reality
