Wasi Shah Poetry

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..

(jarr’en;root, mehwar;focus)
