A TRIBUTE TO PERVEEN SHAKIR

A harvard graduate and fulbright scholar, Perveen Shakir was born on November 24, 1952 in Karachi, Pakistan. She also studied English Literature and Linguistics at the University of Karachi and taught the same to the undergraduates before joining the Civil Services of Pakistan.

She has given the most beautiful female touch to Urdu Poetry.......... Dehli Recorder

Now the perspective and themes are no more those of a young emotional girl but that of a mature, sensitive women whose individual perception has become a comprehensive, collective vision of throbbing mind......... 3rd World International.

Parveen Shakir was undoubtedly the most popular Urdu poetess of modern times. Urdu poetry lost her in the prime of her life following a tragic accident in 1994.

Sabz Madham roshni main surkh aanchal ki dhanak
Sard kamre main machalti garm saanson ki mehak

Baazuon ke sakht halqe main koi nazuk badan
Silvatain malboos par Aanchal bhi kuch dhalka huwa

Garmi-e-Rukhsaar se dehki huwi thandi hawa
Narm zulfon se mulaim ungliyon ki cher chaar

Surkh honton par shararat ke kissee lamhe ka aks
Reshmi baahon main choori ki kabhi madham dhanak

Sharmgeen lehjon main dheere se kabhi chahat ki baat
Do dilon ki dharkanon main goonjti thi ek sadaa

Kanpte honton pe thi Allah se sirf ek duaa
Kash yeh lamhe thehar jain thehar jain zaraa

"The beauty of this Poem is that Shakir has expressed emotions in the best possible poetic way possible. Without passing any limits of indecency, she has written this poem which is considered to be very bold. I give this Poem 2 Thumbs up."

Ku ba ku phail gayi baat shanasayee ki

Ku ba ku phail gayi baat shanasayee ki
Us nay khushboo ki tarha meri pazeerai ki

Kaisay keh doun keh mujhe choor dya hai us nay
Baat to sach hai magar baat hai ruswai ki

Woh kaheen bhi gaya ... lota to merey pass aaya
Bus yehi baat hai achee meray harjai ki

Tera pehlo ... terey dil ki tarha abaad rahay
Tujh pay guzray na qayamat shab-e-tanhayee ki

Us nay jalti hui payshaani par jab haath rakha
rooh tuk aagayee taseer maseehai ki

Ab bhi barsaat ki ratoon may badan toot'ta hai
Jaag uthti hain ajeeb khowahishain anghraye ki

Kamal-E-zabt ko khud bhee to aazmaoon gi
Mein apne hathon se us ki dulhan sajaoon gi

Sapurd ker ke usey chandni ke hathon
Mein apne ghar ke andairon ko laut aoun gi

Badan ke karb ko woh bhee samajh na paye ga
Mein dil mein ro'oon gi, aankhon mein muskaroon gi

Woh kaya gaya ke rafaqat ke sare lutf gae
Mein kis se rooth sakoon gi, kise manaoon gi

Woh eik rishta-e-be-naam bhee nahi lekin
Mein ab bhee us ke isharon pe sar jhukaoon gi

Bichha diya tha gulabon ke sath apna wajood
Woh so ke uthey to khawabon ki rakh uthaoon gi

Jawaz dhoond raha tha nayi muhabbat ka
Woh keh raha tha ke mein us ko bhool jaoon gi

Mohje baham huwi tho kinara nahi raha
Aankho me kohi khwab dubara nahih raha
Ghar bach gaya ke door the,kuch sahiqa mizaj
Kuch aasman ka bhi ishara nahi raha
Bhula kaon airr laga kar hayat ko
Rukna hi rakhsh e jah ko gawara nahih raha
Jab thak wo benishan raha,dastaras me tha
Khushnaam ho gaya tho humara nahih raha
Gum gashta e saffar jab apni khabar milli
Rasta dikhane wala sittara nahih raha
Kaisi gharri me tark e saffar ka khayal he
Jab hum me laot aane ka yaara nahih raha.

A great effort Dua,

Kinare sehan chaman sabz bail ke neeche
Wo roz subhah ka milna tho ab fasana huwa
khuda kare teri aankhe humesha hunsti raheh
Ye aankheh jin ko kabhi dukh ka hosala na huwa
Dhanak ke rang me sarri tho rang li me ne
Aur ab ye dukh ke pehn kar kisse dikhana huwa.

Sundar komal sapnoh ki baraat guzar gayi janah
Dhoop aankho tak aa ponchi he,raat guzar gayi janah
Bhawar same tak jis ne hume baham uljahe rakha
Wo albeli resham aisi baat guzar gayi janah
Sada ki dekhi raat hume iss baar mili tho chupke se
Khali haath pe rakh ke kya soghaat guzar gayi janah
Kis konpal ki aas me ab tak waise hi sarsabz ho tum
Ab tho doop ka mousam he,barsaat guzar gayi janah
Loag na jaane kin rathoh ki muraade manga karthe hain
Apni raat tho wo jo tere saath guzar gayi janah
Ab tho faqat sayaad ki didari ka bahana he warna
Hum ko daam me laane wali ghaath guzar gayi janah.

thanks to all of you
