کبھی کبھی جب شام ڈھلے اور تیز ہوا چلتی ہے
تیری یاد کی مہک مری تنہائی میں گھلتی ہے
Kabhi kabhi jab shaam dhale aur tez hawa chalti hai
Teri yaad ki mehak meri tanhai mein ghulti hai

وصی شاہ کی نظم 'آنکھیں بھیگ جاتی ہیں' ان کی شہرت کا سب سے بڑا عنوان بنی۔ ان کے شعری مجموعے کا نام بھی اسی پر رکھا گیا۔ شام کے دھندلکے، تنہائی، انتظار کی تھکن اور محبوب کی یادوں کی مہک اس نظم کے ہر مصرعے میں رچی بسی ہے۔ وصی شاہ کا لہجہ نرم، درد مندانہ اور معصوم جذبات سے لبریز ہے، جس کی وجہ سے یہ کلام نوجوان نسل اور ہجر کے مارے دلوں میں فوری طور پر گھر کر لیتا ہے۔
Wasi Shah's 'Aankhein Bheeg Jaati Hain' (Tears Brim Within the Eyes) is the title poem of his best-selling poetry collection, cementing his status as one of Pakistan's most resonant contemporary romantic poets. With evocative imagery of quiet evenings, solitary breezes, and the indelible scent of nostalgic remembrance, Wasi transforms the universal ache of waiting for an absent beloved into accessible, melodic modern verse.
کبھی کبھی جب شام ڈھلے اور تیز ہوا چلتی ہے
تیری یاد کی مہک مری تنہائی میں گھلتی ہے
Kabhi kabhi jab shaam dhale aur tez hawa chalti hai
Teri yaad ki mehak meri tanhai mein ghulti hai
تو پاس نہیں ہوتا ہے مگر دل کو گماں ہوتا ہے
جیسے کوئی چپکے سے مرے پہلو میں بیدار ہوتا ہے
Tu paas nahi hota hai magar dil ko guman hota hai
Jaise koi chupke se mere pehloo mein bedaar hota hai
تیرا نام جو لب پہ آئے تو سانسیں مہک اٹھتی ہیں
تیرے بچھڑنے کی سوچ سے ہی آنکھیں بھیگ جاتی ہیں
Tera naam jo lab pe aaye to saansein mehak uthti hain
Tere bichharne ki soch se hi aankhein bheeg jaati hain
کتنے موسم بیت گئے تیری راہ تکتے تکتے
اب تو دل کی ویرانی بھی تیرے غم سے بہلتی ہے
Kitne mausam beet gaye teri raah takte takte
Ab to dil ki weerani bhi tere gham se behalti hai
Kabhi kabhi jab shaam dhale aur tez hawa chalti hai Teri yaad ki mehak meri tanhai mein ghulti hai Tu paas nahi hota hai magar dil ko guman hota hai Jaise koi chupke se mere pehloo mein bedaar hota hai Tera naam jo lab pe aaye to saansein mehak uthti hain Tere bichharne ki soch se hi aankhein bheeg jaati hain Kitne mausam beet gaye teri raah takte takte Ab to dil ki weerani bhi tere gham se behalti hai
Sometimes as the evening fades and a restless wind begins to blow, The fragrance of your memory dissolves gently into my solitude. You are not beside me, yet my yearning heart harbors the illusion, As though someone has stirred softly awake right by my side. Whenever your sacred name touches my lips, my very breath turns fragrant; At the mere foreboding thought of parting from you, my eyes brim with tears. So many changing seasons have passed while watching the road for your return; Now even the desolation of this heart finds solace only in the ache of your grief!
Wasi Shah's title poem captures the lingering psychology of romantic yearning with contemporary lyrical elegance. The opening stanza establishes the sensory setting: the quiet melancholy of dusk paired with rustling winds that unlock nostalgic memories of the beloved. The middle stanzas describe the phantom presence that haunts the solitary lover: an intuitive sensation that the beloved is resting close by, suddenly shattered by the realization of permanent estrangement, moving the heart to tears. The concluding lines reflect the passage of time across changing seasons; the exhaustion of waiting transforms into quiet acceptance, where inner desolation makes peace with grief as its only remaining companion.
