Parveen shakir Poetry...APNI TANHAYI MERE NA..

Parveen Shakir was an Urdu poet, teacher and a civil servant of the Government of Pakistan. She is often regarded as "The Poetess of Fragrance". Parveen Shakir employed mainly two forms of poetry in her work, one being the prevalent ghazal [plural: ghazalyaat], and the other being free verse. The most prominent themes in Shakir's poetry are love, feminism, and social stigmas, though she occasionally wrote on other topics as well. Her work was often based on romanticism, exploring the concepts of love, beauty and their contradictions, and heavily integrated the use of metaphors, similes and personifications

APNI TANHAYI MERE NA..

Apni tanhayi mere naam pe abaad kare,
Kaun ho ga jo mujhe uss ki tarah yaad kare,

Dil ajab sheher ke jis pr bhi khula dar us ka,
Woh musaafir isse har samt se barbaad kare,

Apne qaatil ki zehaanat se pareshaan hoon main,
Roz ik maut naye tarzz ki ijaad kare,

Itna hairaan ho meri be-talabbi ke aagey,
Waa qaffass main koi dar khud mera sayaad kare,

Salb-e-binaayi ke ehkaam mile hain jo kabhi,
Roshni chhuune ki khawhish koi shab-zaad kare,

Soch rakhnaa bhi jaraayem main hai shaamil ab to,
Wohi maasoom hai har baat pe jo saad kare,

Jab lahuu bol parre us ke gavaahon ke khilaaf,
Qaazi-e-sheher kuch is baab main irshaad kare,

Uss ki muthi main bohat roz raha mera wajood,
Mere saahir se kaho ab mujhe aazaad kare..
