Literally the word Aashiq (Aa-shiq) means (the ardent spiritual) Lover. Ishq is that thing which burns and makes it naught from the heart every that thing which is of the Outsider of Haq (P184 Muhik ul Faqar Klaan). "It is a Latifa (subtlety) which takes birth from the light of heart. [Or you can say that] Ishq is a Fire whose fuel is Siyasat (strict administration of justice) and it takes birth from Salamati (peace). Or Ishq is a grass (creeper) which creeps around a tree." (P48-P91 Jamey ul Asraar). Ishq means killing ones own Nafs and his heart remains in ache day and night and receives wound by this (P130 Muhik ul Faqar Klaan). The person who does Ishq is called Aashiq. Plural is Aashiqeen. For specific meanings and more details please also see P1 P33 Muhkumul Faqara P83-P92 Jamey ul Asraar P39 Fazal ul Liqaa P156 Noor ul Huda Klaan. Beloved in Ishq is called Mashooq.
