Re: Verdict on Mela Charaghan
I am sorry to tell you that you are 100 % wrong about your perception of ISHQ
I suggest you read more about it to get the right idea.
It has nothing to do with physical desire, Ishq is the ultimate level of Love and passion, where all worldy matters become irrelevent and only desire is to be with beloved or dreaming about getting recognition in the heart of beloved.
Please look for the meaning of following terms very commonly used in urdu.
Ishq -e Ilahi
Ishq-e Majazi
Ishq-e Haqiqui
Ishq-e Rasool
Ishq-e Hussain
Every thing does not revolve around sex, It is very stereotypical to assume that
Now we talk about Heer Ranjha very casually and dont regard this folk tale very highly. But it is a fact that all learned people who understand their immortal love, regard them highly
The shrine of Heer is in the city of Jhang and it is a fact that no one their call her "heer" they call her "Mai Heer" ( Lady Heer ) and her beloved 'Baba Ranjha' just out of sheer respect because they understand that they had extra ordinary gift of Ishq.

Main wi janan dhok Ranjhan di, naal mare koi challey
Pairan paindi, mintan kardi, janaan tan peya ukkaley
Neen wi dhoonghi, tilla purana, sheehan ney pattan malley
Ranjhan yaar tabeeb sadhendha, main tan dard awalley
Kahe Husain faqeer namana, sain senhurray ghalley
Travelers, I too have to go; I have to go to the solitary hut of Ranjha. Is there any one who will go with me? I have begged many to accompany me and now I set out alone. Travelers, is there no one who could go with me?
The River is deep and the shaky bridge creaks as people step on it. And the ferry is a known haunt of tigers. Will no one go with me to the lonely hut of Ranjha?
During long nights I have been tortured by my raw wounds. I have heard he in his lonely hut knows the sure remedy. Will no one come with me, travelers? <
