مرے ہاتھوں کو تراشیدہ سا اک ساز کرو
مری سانسوں کو ترے لمس کی خوشبو دے دو
Mere haathon ko taraasheeda sa ik saaz karo
Meri saanson ko tere lams ki khushbu de do

وصی شاہ کی نظم 'مجھے صندل کر دو' ان کے مشہور ترین شعری مجموعے کا عنوان ہے اور نوجوان نسل میں ان کے رومانوی لہجے کی پہچان مانی جاتی ہے۔ صندل کی لکڑی اپنی خوشبو، ٹھنڈک اور تقدس کے لیے جانی جاتی ہے۔ شاعر محبوب کے لمس اور قربت کو صندل کے اس سکون بخش اثر سے تشبیہ دیتا ہے جو ویران دل اور جلتی سانسوں کو مہکا کر تسکین عطا کرتا ہے۔
Wasi Shah's 'Mujhe Sandal Kar Do' is the title poem of his best-selling romantic collection. Sandalwood ('Sandal') serves as a sacred olfactory metaphor representing cooling serenity, divine fragrance, and physical intimacy. The speaker surrenders completely before the beloved, asking to be anointed, ground, and transformed like precious sandalwood upon the threshold of romantic devotion.
مرے ہاتھوں کو تراشیدہ سا اک ساز کرو
مری سانسوں کو ترے لمس کی خوشبو دے دو
Mere haathon ko taraasheeda sa ik saaz karo
Meri saanson ko tere lams ki khushbu de do
مجھ کو اس میں بھٹکنے نہ دو
اپنی پلکوں کے جھروکوں میں پناہ دے دو
Mujh ko is dasht-e-tamanna mein bhatakne na do
Apni palkon ke jharokon mein panah de do
جب کبھی شام کے سائے مرے دل پر اتریں
اپنی چاہت کا دیا میرے سرہانے رکھ دو
Jab kabhi shaam ke saaye mere dil par utrein
Apni chahat ka diya mere sirhaane rakh do
میں ترے عشق کی چوکھٹ پہ بکھر جاؤں گا
اپنے ہاتھوں سے مری جان مجھے صندل کر دو
Main tere ishq ki chaukhat pe bikhar jaaunga
Apne haathon se meri jaan mujhe sandal kar do
Mere haathon ko taraasheeda sa ik saaz karo Meri saanson ko tere lams ki khushbu de do Mujh ko is dasht-e-tamanna mein bhatakne na do Apni palkon ke jharokon mein panah de do Jab kabhi shaam ke saaye mere dil par utrein Apni chahat ka diya mere sirhaane rakh do Main tere ishq ki chaukhat pe bikhar jaaunga Apne haathon se meri jaan mujhe sandal kar do
Fashion these hands into a finely sculpted instrument of your melody; Bestow upon my breathing the fragrant perfume of your gentle touch! Do not let me wander aimlessly across this barren desert of desire; Grant me refuge beneath the latticed balconies of your eyelashes! Whenever the melancholic shadows of evening descend upon my heart, Place the glowing lamp of your love beside my lonely pillow! I shall dissolve like fragrant dust upon the sacred threshold of your love; With your own tender hands, O my life, anoint and sanctify me like soothing sandalwood!
This lyrical poem develops the ancient aesthetic motif of sandalwood into a contemporary romantic confession. The opening verses seek tactile and sensory transformation: the lover's breath desires the fragrance of the beloved's touch, seeking refuge beneath the eyelashes from the scorched wilderness of worldly longing. The concluding stanzas deploy domestic twilight imagery: soothing evening depression with the tender lamp of affection, resolving to scatter like consecrated sandalwood dust upon the beloved's sacred threshold.
