hosh-o-hawas-o-aql se begana nahin hun
be-shak junun mein gharq hun diwana nahin hun

wahshat se meri khauf na kha aa qarib aa
mujh par tera khumar hai mastana nahin hun

mujh mein na tum talash karo mai-kashon sukun
main rind-e-bala-nosh hun mai-khana nahin hun

nadan samajh ke mujh pe inayat hai is qadar
achchha hai nigah-e-yar mein farzana nahin hun

chup hun ki aap aaj bhi mujh ko aziz hain
sazish se warna aap ki an-jaana nahin hun

'tashna' hun mujh se rakh na tawaqqo tu faiz ki
shisha to dur saghar-o-paimana nahin hun
