gareban chaak karne se hamein fursat bhi milti hai
rahe tu mehrban to ilm ki daulat bhi milti hai

khuda rakkhe tujhe ai shairi teri badaulat hi
hamein izzat bhi milti hai hamein shohrat bhi milti hai

dar-e-jaanan ko hum ne is liye ab tak nahin chhoda
jahan kuchh ranj milta hai wahin rahat bhi milti hai

ibaadat se faqat khush-nudi-e-maula nahin milti
sitam-gar tujh se ladne ki hamein himmat bhi milti hai

ghalat aae to honton par tabassum dhundne walo
yahan aansu bahane se kabhi mohlat bhi milti hai

bahut hi soch kar apne qadam rakhna khirad walo
ye rah-e-ishq hai is rah mein wahshat bhi milti hai

salamat hai agar iman ai 'tashna' yaqin kar lo
ki jis par naz hai rizwan ko wo jannat bhi milti hai
