The word(s) "desire" appears 77 time(s) in 67 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(31) Thus have We revealed it, a decisive utterance in Arabic; and if thou shouldst follow their desires after that which hath come unto thee of knowledge, then truly wouldst thou have from Allah no protecting friend nor defender.

(32) Even if thou (O Muhammad) desirest their right guidance, still Allah assuredly will not guide him who misleadeth. Such have no helpers.

(33) And they assign unto Allah daughters - Be He Glorified! - and unto themselves what they desire;

(34) Whoso desireth that (life) which hasteneth away, We hasten for him therein what We will for whom We please. And afterward We have appointed for him hell; he will endure the heat thereof, condemned, rejected.

(35) And whoso desireth the Hereafter and striveth for it with the effort necessary, being a believer; for such, their effort findeth favour (with their Lord).

(36) Wherein they will abide, with no desire to be removed from thence.

(37) Therefor, let not him turn thee aside from (the thought of) it who believeth not therein but followeth his own desire, lest thou perish.

(38) They will not hear the slightest sound thereof, while they abide in that which their souls desire.

(39) And if the Truth had followed their desires, verily the heavens and the earth and whosoever is therein had been corrupted. Nay, We have brought them their Reminder, but from their Reminder they now turn away.

(40) Therein abiding, they have all that they desire. It is for thy Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.
