Wasi Shah Poetry

Haaye Wo Lamha Ke Jab Tujh Se Shanasaayi Howi
Phir Jo Honi Thi Meri Jaan Wo Ruswaayi Howi

Apni Nakaam Mohabbat Ka Na Yun Charcha Karo
Zakham Barh Jaye Ga Gar Is Ki Paziraayi Howi

Phir Zamanay Mein Kisi Ne Ose Dekha Na Suna
Tere Darbaar Mein Jis Shakhs Ki Shanwaayi Howi

Jab Teri Yaad Ko Koi Bhi Thikaana Na Milay
Meri Baahon Mein Chali Aati Hai Ghabraayi Howi

Ab magar kuch bhi nain, kuch bhi nahin ho sakta,
Apne jazbon se yeh rangeen shararat na karo,

Kitni masoom ho, naazuk ho, hamaqat na karo,
Baar’haa tum se kaha tha ke mohabbat na karo..

Kesa khaufnaak sa manzar hai keyi sadiyon se,
Mera qadmon pe mera sar hai keyi sadiyon se,

Khauf rehta hai na sailaab kahin le jaye,
Meri palkon pe mera tera ghar hai keyi sadiyon se,

Ashk aankhon mein sulagtey huye so jatey hain,
Yeh meri aankh jo banjar hai keyi sadiyon se,

Kaun kehta hai mulaqat meri aaj ki hai,
Tu meri rooh ke andar hai keyi sadiyon se,

Mene jis ke liye har kisi ko naraaz kiya,
Rooth jaye na yehi dar hai keyi sadiyon se,

Uss ko aadat hai jarr’en* kaat’tey rehne ki Wasi,
Jo meri zaat ka mehwar* hai keyi sadiyon se..

Abhi kuch bhi nahin badla,
Darakhton par wohi mausam abi tak muskuratey hain,
Abhi tak surmeyi shamain hamarey sath roti hain,
Abhi tak mere honton per tumhare honton ki khushbu
Raqss karti hai,

Abhi tak meri ankhon mein tumhare khawb hanstey hain,
Abhi tak mere hathon per tumhari ungliyon
ki narm pooron se likhey sab harf
zinda hain,

Abhi tak mere seeney mein tumhari saans chalti hai,
Abhi to raston par doodhiya pairon se parney waley
sarey naqsh qayem hain,

Abhi almaariyon mein sarey tohfey gungunatey hain,
Tumhare khat abhi bhi raat ki tanhai mein mujh se,
Tumhari baat kartey hain,

Bohat se saal guzrey hain,
Bohat se waqt beeta hai,
Meri chahat nahin beeti,
Meri himmat nahin guzri,
Abhi kuch bhi nahin badla,
Abhi kuch bhi nahin badla,

Agar chaho,
Agar samjho,
Meri maano,
To laut aao…

Apna to chahton mein yehi ik asool hai,
Tera bhalaa bura humain sab kuch qubool hai,

Yeh umar bhar ka jaagna bekaar hi na jaye,
Tu naa mila to saari reyaazat fazool hai,

Khud hi kaha tha tu ne meri jaan chorr de,
Ab chorr di to kyon tera chehra malool hai,

Aye Maan yeh meri shohrtain meri yeh iztain,
Kuch bhi nahin bass tere kadmon ki dhool hai,

Aayi jo teri yaad to aankhain barass parri,
Iss waqt tere dard ka dil per nazool hai,

Ik doosrey ke waastey dono baney Wasi,
Guldaan mera dil hai teri yaad phool hai..

Ajeeb saanehaa guzraa hai mujh pe aaj ki sham,
Main aaj shaam tumhare hijar main udaas na tha,

Ab aik saal to yeh aik gham hi kaafi hai,
Tumhari salgiraah par bhi tumhare paas na tha..

Maan lai ab bhi meri jaan-e-adaa, dard na chun,
Kaam aati nahin phir koi duaa, dard na chun,

Aur kuch dair mein mujh ko chale jana hoga,
aur kuch dair mujhe khawab dikha, dard na chun,

Aik bhi dard na kam hoga keyi sadiyon mein,
Ab bhi kehta hoon tujhe waqt bachaa, dard na chun,

Woh jo likha hai kisi taur nahin ttal sakta,
Aa mere dil main koi deep jala, dard na chun,

Main tere lamss se mehroom na rah jaaon kahin,
Aakhri baar mujhe khud se laga, dard na chun,

Ab to yeh raishmi purain bhi chaddi jati hain,
Khud ko ab bakhssh bhi de, zulm na dhaa, dard na chun,

Yeh nahin hon ge to khali nahin ho jaon ga mein,
Mere zakhmon se koi geet bana, dard na chun,

Kuch na de ga yeh masaayel se ulajhtey rehna,
Chorr sab kuch meri banhon mein samaa, dard na chun..

Sari raat ki jaagi aankhein,
College mein kiya parrhti hon gi,
Yunhi khoye, dil hi dil mein,
Jaanay kiya kiya karti hon gi,

Sari raat ki jaagi aankhen,
Koi bolay, kaan na dharna,
Koi hillay to ek dam darna,
Koi daikhe in ka barhna,
Apne aap say larti hon gi,

Sari raat ki jagi aankhein,
Apni kitaabein phartey rehna,
Us ki baaten kartey rehna,
Us ki yaadein ghartey rehna,
Jeetay jeetay marti hon gi,

Sari raat ki jagi aankhein,
College mein kiya parrhti hon gi..

Uss ki ankhon main mohabbat ka sitara hoga,
Aik din aye ga woh shakss hamara hoga,

Tum jahan mere liye seepiyan chunti hogi,
Woh kisi aur hi duniya ka kinaara hoga,

Zindagi! ab mera naam na shamil karna,
Gar yeh tehh hai yehi khail dobaraa hoga,

Jis ke hone se meri saans chala karti hai,
Kis tarah us ke bina mera guzaara hoga,

Yeh achaanak jo ujaala sa hua jata hai,
Dil ne chupke se tera naam pukara hoga,

Ishq karna hai to din raat usey sochna hai,
Aur kuch zehen main aaya to hasaara hoga,

Yeh jo paani main chala aaya sunehri sa gharoor,
Uss ne daryaa main kahin paaon utaara hoga,

Kon rota hai yahan hijar ke sanaatton main,
Mere jesa hi koi hijar ka maara hoga,

Mujh ko maloom hai joon hi main qadam rakhoon ga,
Zindagi tera koi aur kinaara hoga,

Jo meri rooh main badal se garajte hain Wasi,
Uss ne seeney main koi dard utaara hoga,

Kaam mushkil hai magar jeet hi loon ga us ko,
Mere maula ka Wasi jab ishaara hoga..

Kisi ki aankh se sapne churaa kar kuch nahin milta,
Munddairon se chiraghon ko bhuja kar kuch nahin milta,

Sakoon un ko nahin milta kabhi pardes ja kar bhi,
Jinhe apne watan se dil laga kar kuch nahin milta,

Usey kehna ke palkon pe na taanke khawb ki jhaalar,
Samandar ke kinaare ghar bana kar kuch nahin milta,

Na jaane kon se jazbe ki yoon taskeen karta hoon,
Bazaahar to tumhare khat jalaa kar kuch nahin milta,

Usey main pyaar karta hoon to mujh ko chain ata hai,
Woh kehta hai usey mujh ko sataa kar kuch nahin milta,

Mujhe aksar sitaaron se yehi awaaz ati hai,
Kisi ke hijar main neendain ganwaa kar kuch nahin milta,

Jigar ho jaaye ga chhalni, yeh aankhain khoon royen gi,
Wasi, befaiz logon se nibhaa kar kuch nahin milta..
