पाकिस्तान की उर्दू शायरी में परवीन के अशआर नर्म सुखन बनकर फूटे हैं और अपनी खुशबू से उर्दू शायरी की दुनिया को सराबोर किया है। उनके शेरों में लोकगीतों की सादगी है और क्लासिक मौसिकि की नफासत और नजाकत भी।

उनकी शायरी स्त्री प्रधान है और रचनाओं में रूमानियत के साथ यथार्थपरकता भी है। इसीलिए स्त्री और प्रेम को आधार बनाकर लिखी उनकी लेखनी अनुभूति के बहुत करीब है। १९५२ में कराची में जन्मी परवीन सिविल सेवा में एक अधिकारी भी थी और शायद इसलिए उन्होंने जिंदगी को ज्यादा करीबी और व्यापक नजर से देखा। उनकी नज्में और गजलें भोलेपन और सोफस्टीकेशन का दिल-आवेज संगम है।

खुली आंखों से सपना झांकता है,
वो सोया है कि कुछ-कुछ जागता है
तेरी चाहत के भीगे जंगलों में
मेरा तन मोर बनकर नाचता है
मैं उसकी दस्तरस में हूं मगर वो,
मुझे मेरी रजा से मांगता है।

एक झोंका है जो आएगा, गुज़र जाएगा” 🍃

In Parveen Shakir’s poetry, both sweetness and depth of words are found together. Her every word comes out of the heart and settles in the heart.

Her shayari, such as:

“Your words are scattered like fragrance,
which you could not understand, how is that close one?”

Review- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Simple · Rating 4 out of 5]

The rare female poet who wrote for females. I loved so many shers and nazms from this collection , the Urdu at places was tough but it's good to learn and grow for the love of poetry . The poem specially deals with themes of seperation, heartbreaks and pain of life.

Speechless ... Fall in love.... Thanks for sharing great poems..

[Kirti Tarang · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book is a pioneer of 'New Age' in Urdu Shayari. Love has never been portrayed more delicately. Shakir's poems have folk-songs like simplicity and rhythm and the nicety and sophistication of classical music. I fell in love with her ghazals and nazms because of their innocent worldliness.

Woman- is the central point of her work. A broken, shattered by love and yet a self respecting woman. A sensitive yet courageous woman. With this woman as her voice, her shayari isn't a love song but a soft love lullaby. Irony is that this lullaby is a medium of awakening!

Whatever she writes is romantic and deeply sensual, still at no point it comes across as dreamy. Unlike most Pakistani poets, at no point Shakir gets involved with Sufism. Yes, she talks about love, memories, separation, dreams- whatever it is, it belongs to this world, this life.

Parveen Shakir was one of the best poets of 20th century. Unfortunately, we still don't have a complete collection of her works in Devnagari. Until the 'Collected Poems' is published, we'll have to make do with the 'Representative Poems'.
