Urdu Sad Poetry of Wasi Shah from Modern Pakistani Poetry. This collection of poetry is about sadness caused by amorous causes and general social relationships. Syed Wasi Shah, a relatively younger poet, has been much celebrated in Pakistan, India and other Urdu speaking populations across the world. I personally fell in love with his poetry when someone gifted me his beautiful book titled: “Mujhe Sandal kar do”.
Though I must appreciate and praise the versatile poet, Syed Wasi Sah, yet I cannot rank him among the greats of Urdu poetry like Ghalib, Iqbal, Sahir Ludhyanvi, Saghar Siddiqui, Faiz Ahmed Faiz and the list is long. The only difference I perceive is that those poets of yore preceded from higher thematic aspects. Wasi Shah, on the other hand, remains much more involved in the momentary and sensual feelings of the emotions. But still, his poetry is lovely. I admire him a lot.
Urdu Sad Poetry of Wasi Shah
Aj hamen ye bat samj aye hai,
tum mosam ho aur mosam harjaye hy
aj to mehfil yaran p ho maghroor boht
jab kabhi toot kay bikhro gay to yad aun ga
apnay gham say kaho har pal mery sath rahy,
aik ihsan kro is ko musalsal kr do
Doobtay doobtay awaz tery sun jaun,
akhry bar to sahil say sada dy muj ko
dayar gher main kesy tuj sada dety,
tu mil b jata to akhir tuj ganwa dety
chalo kuch to tasaly huwy mery dil ko,
isy main khush hun k paya khiraj kanton ka
