Longing or desire; also grief or wistfulness (Urdu literary route)
For the documented Urdu literary naming route, Hasrat corresponds to حسرت. The word includes longing, desire and wish, and can also convey grief or wistfulness. Rekhta documents Hasrat as the pen name of Hasrat Mohani in both English and Urdu. This does not establish every family’s reason for choosing the name.
Documented Urdu literary use; Persian and Arabic word ancestry
Rekhta’s bilingual profile documents Hasrat (حسرت) as an Urdu literary pen name. The Urdu dictionary entry traces the word through Classical Persian to Arabic. This identifies a documented naming route and lexical ancestry, not the nationality or ancestry of every bearer.
