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

Perveen Shakir Ghazal

Ajib tarz-e-mulaqat ab k bar rahi

tumhin the badle hue ya meri nigahen thin
tumhari nazron se lagta tha jaise meri bajaye
tumhare ghar main koi aur shakhs aya hai
tumhare ohad ki denen tumhen mubarak

so tum ne mera swagat usi tarah se kiya
jo afsaran-e-hukumat k aitaqad main hai
takallufan mere nazdik a k baith gaye
phir ehtamam se mausam ka zikr cher diya

kuch us k bad siyasat ki bat bhi nikli
adab par bhi koi do char tabsare faramaye
magar na tum ne hamesha ki tarah ye pucha
kya waqt kaisa guzarta hai tera jan-e-hayat

pahar din ki aziyat main kitni shiddat hai
ujar rat ki tanhai kya qayamat hai
shabon ki sust rawi ka tujhe bhi shikwa hai
gam-e-firaq k qisse nishat-e-wasl ka zikr
rawayatan hi sahi koi bat to karte

Another Ghazal By Perveen Shakir

Tujh se koi gilla nahin hai
Qismat main meri silla nahin nahi

Bichar ke to na-janey kia haal ho
Jo shakhs abhi milla nahi hai

Jeeney ki to aarzu hi kab thi
Marney ka bhi hosla nahin hai

Jo zeest ko mu-tabir bana dey
Aesa koi silsila nahin hai

Khushboo ka hisaab ho chuka
Aur phool abhi khilla nahi hai

Sershaari-e-rehbari main dekha
Peechy mera qafilla nahin hai

Ek thais pe dil ka phoot behna
Chooney mein to aabla nahi hai

Perveen Shakir Khushboo

wo to khushbu hai hawaon main bikhar jayega
masla phul ka hai phul kidhar jayega

ham to samjhe the k ek zakhm hai bhar jayega
kya khabar thi k rag-e-jan main utar jayega

wo hawaon ki tarah khanabajan phirta hai
ek jhonka hai jo ayega guzar jayega

wo jab ayega to phir us ki rafaqat k liye
mausam-e-gul mere angan main thahar jayega

akhir wo bhi kahin ret pe baithi hogi
tera ye pyar bhi dariya hai utar jayega

.............................

Khushbuu hai vo to chhuu ke badan ko guzar na jaaye
jab tak mere wajuud ke andar utar na jaaye

Khud phuul ne bhii honth kiye apane niim-vaa
chorii tamaam rang kii titalii ke sar na jaaye

is Khauf se vo saath nibhaane ke haq mein hai
khokar mujhe ye ladakii kahiin dukh se mar na jaaye

palkon ko us kii apane dupatte se ponch duun
kal ke safar mein aaj kii gard-e-safar na jaaye

main kis ke haath bhejuun use aaj kii duaa
qaasid havaa sitaaraa koii us ke ghar na jaaye

Perveen Shakir Romantic Poetry

badban khulne se pahle ka ishara dekhna
main samandar dekhti hun tum kinara dekhna

yun bicharna bhi bahut asan na tha us se magar
jate jate us ka wo mur k dubara dekhna

kis shabahat ko liye aya hai darwaze pe chand
ai shab-e-hijran zara apna sitara dekhna

aine ki ankh hi kuch kam na thi mere liye
jane ab kya kya dikhayega tumhara dekhna

Romantic Poetry By Perveen Shakir

isi main khush hun mera dukh koi to sahta hai
chali chalun ki jahan tak ye sath rahta hai

zamin-e-dil yun hi shadab to nahin ai dost
qarib main koi dariya zarur bahta hai

na jane kaun sa fiqra kahan raqm ho jaye
dilon ka hal bhi ab kaun kis se kahta hai

mere badan ko nami kha gai ashkon ki
bhari bahar main jaise makan dahta hai

Perveen Shakir English Translation

PINK FLOWERS
Pink flowers blossomed in the season I met you.
With your attentions they are opening again,
though these wounds had healed already.
How long could the columns support these houses shaken to their foundations? That old strangeness came back, as if our meetings had been done.
The body was still hotfoot with its infatuations,
the feet bruised on the way.
Parveen Shakir English Translation from the Urdu by Alamgir Hashmi

WHERE AM I?
Where am I in your life? In the morning breeze or the evening star, hesitant drizzle or sharp rain, silver moonlight or hot noon, deep thoughts or casual tunes? Where am I in your life? Down from work, a weekend’s interval on a beach, or an unintended silken release between your fingers from serial smoke? Or a readily replenished, freshened moment without wine, or a moment’s leave, anonymous, between the breaking of one dream of love and another’s beginning? Where am I in your life?
Parveen Shakir Translation from the Urdu by Alamgir Hashmi

aks-s-khushboo

aks-e-Khushboo hoon bikharne se na roke koi

aur bikhar jaun to mujhe na samete koi

kaanp uthti hun mai ye Tanhai me

mere Chehre pe tera naam na parhle koi

jis tarah khwab mere ho gaye reza reza

is tarah se na kabhi toot ke bikhre koi

mai ti is din harasan hun ke jab hukam mile

khushk phoolon ko kitabon me na rakhe koi

ab to is raah se wo shakhs guzarta bhi nahi

ab kis umeed se darwaze se jahnke koi

koi awaaz,koi ahaat,koi chaap nahi

dil ki galyan badi sunsaan hain aye koi

koo bah koo

koo bah kaboo phail gayee baat shanaa shaa.ee ki

oss nay khush.boo ki tarah meri pazeeraa.ee ki :)

Sonaa hay Jangloon Ka bhi koi dustoor hota hy

Suna hai janglon ka bhi koi dastoor hota hai

Suna hai sher ka jab pait bhar jaaye

To wo hamla nahin kerta,

Suna hai jab kisi nadi k paani main
Bue k ghonsle ka gandami saaya larazta hai

To nadi ki ro pehli machhilyaan us ko

Parosi maan leti hain,

Hava k taiz jhonke jab darakhton ko hilaate hain

To Meena apne ghar ko bhool ker

Ka’uve k andon ko paron main thaam leti hai

Suna hai Ghonsle se jab koi bacha gire to

Saara jangle jaag jaata hai.

Naddi main baar aa jaaye

Koi Pull toot jaaye

To kisi lakri k takhte per

Gulahri, Saanp, Cheeta aur Bakri

Saath hote hain.

Suna hai janglon ka bhi koi dastoor hota hai,

Khuda-wanda Jaleel-o Mu’atbar, Daana-o Beena Munsif-o Akber,

HUMARE SHAHAR MAIN AB,

JANGLON KA HI KOI DASTOOR NAAFIZ KER..!!
