I truly love someone who speaks and behaves in a way that doesn't disturb others' peace of mind and remains calm in challenging situations, free from lust, jealousy, fear, and agitation. (12:15)

Commentary
The word "harsha" is used again in verse 12:17. The common meaning of this word is "joy." Using the same word in the same sense in two verses that come in quick succession would lead to unnecessary repetition. Therefore, in this context, the alternate meaning of the word "harsha," which is 'lust', has been employed.
