#Parveen Shakir Poetry

[chipsy]

“I'm filled with fear at the thought that someday, in all my loneliness, someone will read your name written all over my face.”

— Parveen Shakir

[maihonhassan]

Parveen Shakir is the finest poetess in the history of urdu literature:

“ye dukh nahi ke andheron se sulah ki humne, malal yeh hai ke ab subha ki talab bhi nahi.”

[komal01]

Har raat meri aankhein inhi sochon mein ghum ho jaati hain;

Ke mera maqsad-e-hayaat kya tha,

Aur mujhe thaka kin kaamon ne diya!

[nabihahahahahaha]

Humne hi lautne ka irada nahi kiya

ہمنے ہی لوٹنے کا ارادہ نہیں کیا

Usne bhi bhool janey ka irada nahi kiya

اسنے بھی بھول جانے کا ارادہ نہیں کیا؟

Reading Parveen shakir gives college vibes but in urdu aesthetic eraaa "Parveen Shakir"

Apne bistar pe bahut der se main neem-daraz

sochti thi ki wo is waqt kahan par hoga

Main yahan hoon magar us kucha-e-rang-o-bu mein

roz ki tarah se wo aaj bhi aaya hoga

Aur jab us ne wahan mujh ko na paya hoga!?

Aap ko ilm hai wo aaj nahin aayi hain?

Meri har dost se us ne yahi poochha hoga

Kyun nahin aayi wo kya baat hui hai aakhir

Khud se is baat pe sau baar wo uljha hoga

Kal wo aayegi to main us se nahin bolunga

Aap hi aap kai baar wo rootha hoga

Wo nahin hai to bulandi ka safar kitna kathin

Seedhiyan chadhte hue us ne ye socha hoga

Rahdaari mein hare lawn mein phoolon ke qareeb

Us ne har samt mujhe aan ke dhoonda hoga

Naam bhule se jo mera kahin aaya hoga

Ghair-mahsus tareeqe se wo chaunka hoga

Ek jumle ko kai baar sunaya hoga

Baat karte hue sau baar wo bhoola hoga

Ye jo ladki nai aayi hai kahin wo to nahin

Us ne har chehra yahi soch ke dekha hoga

Jaan-e-mahfil hai magar aaj faqat mere baghair

Haye kis darja wahi bazm mein tanha hoga

Kabhi sannaton se vahshat jo hui hogi use

Us ne be-sakhte phir mujh ko pukara hoga

Chalte chalte koi manus si aahat paa kar

Doston ko bhi kis uzr se roka hoga

Yaad kar ke mujhe nam ho gayi hongi palkein

Aankh mein pad gaya kuch keh ke ye taala hoga

Aur ghabra ke kitabon mein jo li hogi panaah

Har satar mein mera chehra ubhar aaya hoga

Jab mili hogi use meri ala'lat ki khabar

Us ne aahista se deewar ko thaama hoga

Soch kar ye ki bahal jaaye pareshani-e-dil

Yunhi be-wajah kisi shakhs ko roka hoga

Ittifaqan mujhe us shaam meri dost mili

Main ne poochha ki suno aaye the wo? kaise the?

Mujh ko poochha tha mujhe dhoonda tha chaaron janib?

Us ne ek lamhe ko dekha mujhe aur phir hans di

Is hansi mein to wo talkhi thi ki is se aage

Kya kaha us ne mujhe yaad nahin hai lekin

Itna maaloom hai khwabon ka bharam toot gaya!

Remembering Parveen Shakir on her Death Anniversary

ye dukh nahi ke andheron se sulah ki humne, malal yeh hai ke ab subha ki talab bhi nahi.

[noorjehan]

"dil mein iss qadar mohabbat hai unke liye, ke soye to khwaab unke aur jaage to khayal unke"

[thedelusionalselenophile]

وعدوں کی طرح، عشق بھی آدھا ہی رہا

ملاقاتیں کم رہی، انتظار زیادہ رہا ~

Waadon ki tarah, ishq bhi aadha rha

Mulaqatain kam rhi, intezar zyada rha ~

Parallels💌

[postcardswithoutanaddress]

" as much as I would love to say love is selfish, at the same time I cannot deny that love is selfless. بے لوث when you love someone you just want them to be happy. for them to be under the warmth of the sun. for their tea to be always warm. for the path of their life being always lit up. for the stars of their destiny to be aligned. for the wind to twirl around them lovingly.

جتنا میں یہ کہنا پسند کرونگی کہ محبت خود غرض ہے، اسی وقت میں اس سے انکار نہیں کر سکتی کہ محبت بے لوث ہے۔ جب آپ کسی سے محبت کرتے ہیں تو آپ صرف یہ چاہتے ہیں کہ وہ خوش رہے۔ کہ وہ سورج کی تپش کے نیچے نہ آییں۔ کہ ان کی چائے ہمیشہ گرم رہے۔ ان کی زندگی کا راستہ ہمیشہ روشن رہ ہے۔ ان کی تقدیر کے ستارے روشن ہو جاییں۔ ہوا ان کے ارد گرد پیار سے گھومے.

“Perhaps it was the winter breeze or maybe just the thought of you that made my heart feel a happiness that had a tinge of grief too when he failed to become mine, the only one I ever yearned for. These hands of mine fell away, as if forgetting what they prayed for.”

— Parveen Shakir

When Ahmad Faraz said;

ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa, aa phir se mujhe chorh ke jaane ke liye aa

And Parveen Shakir Replied;

qarya-e-jaan mein koi phool khilane aaye, wo mere dil pe naya zakhm lagane aaye

[komal01]

Sab kuch seekh liya;

Par zindagi guzarna na seekha gaya

jis tarah khwaab mere ho gaye reza reza

us tarah se na kabhi tuut ke bikhre koi

جس طرح خواب مرے ہو گئے ریزہ ریزہ

اس طرح سے نہ کبھی ٹوٹ کے بکھرے کوئی

Ofcourse sharing makes the pain go away but I understood the 'decency' of keeping some sorrows to yourself

When Parveen Shakir said "jo ġham milā hai bojh uThāyā hai us kā ḳhud ,

sar zer-e-bār-e-sāġhar-o-bāda nahīñ kiyā"

And Ahmad Faraz wrote "dukh fasāna nahīñ ki tujh se kaheñ "

ham ki dukh oḌh ke ḳhalvat meñ paḌe rahte haiñ ,ham ne bāzār meñ zaḳhmoñ kī numā.ish nahīñ kī

- Faraz

Another poet wrote " behadd sarbasta hai mujh gaafil ka dukh,log nahin samjhengey mere dil ka dukh.

[syyedmohdsaad]

Tere badalne ke ba-wasf tujhe chaaha hai

Ye etiraaf bhi shaamil mere gunah me hai
