Urdu Poetry Of Perveen Shakir

hamare darmiyan aisa koi rishta nahin tha
tere shanon pe koi chat nahin thi

mere zimme koi angan nahin tha
koi wada teri zanjir-e-pa banane nahin paya

kisi iqrar ne meri kalai ko nahin thama
hawa-e-dasht ki manind
tu azad tha
raste teri marzi k tabe the
mujhe bhi apni tanhai pe
dekha jaye to
pura tasarruf tha

magar jab aj tu ne
rasta badla
to kuch aisa laga mujh ko
k jaise tu ne mujh se bewafai ki

************

harf e taaza naii khushboo mein likha chahta hai
baab ik aur mohabbat ka khula chahta hai

aik lamhay ki tawajoo nahi hasil uss ki
aur yeh dil keh ussay hud say siwa chahta hai

ik hijaab teh e iqrar hai ma'nay manay warna
gul ko maloom hai kaya dast e saba chahta hai

rait he rait hai iss dil mein musafir mairay
aur yeah sehra taira naqash e qaf e pa chahta hai

yehe khamooshi kai rung mein zahir ho gi
aur kuch roz keh woh shokh khula chahta hai

raat ko maan liya dil nay muqadar laykin
raat kay haath pay aab koi diya chahta hai

tairay paymanay mein gardish nahi baqi saqi
aur tairi bezam say aab koi utha chahta hai

Perveen Shakir Urdu Poetry

chehra mera tha nigahen us ki
khamushi main bhi wo baten us ki

mere chehre pe gazal likhti gain
sher kahti hui ankhen us ki

shokh lamhon ka pata dene lagin
tez hoti hui sansen us ki

aise mausam bhi guzare ham ne
subhen jab apni thin shamain us ki

dhyan main us k ye alam tha kabhi
ankh mahtab ki yaden us ki

faisala mauj-e-hawa ne likkha
andhiyan meri baharen us ki

nind is soch se tuti aksar
kis tarah katati hain raten us ki

dur rah kar bhi sada rahti hai
mujh ko thame hue bahen us ki

----------------------------

teri khushbu ka pata karti hai
mujh pe ehsan hawa karti hai

shab ki tanhai main ab to aksar
guftagu tujh se raha karti hai

dil ko us rah pe chalna hi nahin
jo mujhe tujh se juda karti hai

zindagi meri thi lekin ab to
tere kahne main raha karti hai

us ne dekha hi nahin warna ye ankh
dil ka ehwal kaha karti hai

beniyaz-e-kaf-e-dariya angusht
ret par nam likha karti hai

------------------------

ku-ba-ku phail gai bat shanasai ki
us ne khushbu ki tarah meri pazirai ki

kaise kah dun k mujhe chor diya hai us ne
bat to sach hai magar bat hai ruswai ki

wo kahin bhi gaya lauta to mere pas aya
bas yahi bat hai achi mere harjai ki

tera pahlu tere dil ki tarah abad rahe
tujh pe guzre na qayamat shab-e-tanhai ki

us ne jalti hui peshani pe jo hath rakha
ruh tak a gai tasir masihai ki
