Could you translate "yearning" into farsi?

Answer 1

Persian often uses an alliterative combination of two words to express an idea. Something closer in meaning to "yearning" would be shur o showq (شور و شوق).

Answer 2

Yearning in Farsi is "niyaz" specially in literary texts. Niyaz is used in everyday speech too but there are other synonyms for it such as "khaastan" , "khaahesh" or "taghazaa"
