नशा · نشہ
Nasha is intoxication — literally the high from wine, but in songs it describes the heady, drunk-on-love feeling a beloved creates without any drink at all.
Persian نشه, intoxication. It covers literal drunkenness and every figurative high built on that image.
Nasha is the sensation; mast and mastani describe the person under it. In songs the intoxicant is almost always a person rather than a substance.
One of the most reliable metaphors in the tradition — it lets a writer describe losing judgement without confessing to weakness, because intoxication implies something was done to you.
