Social Urdu Poetry of Parveen Shakir
ab to bas khwab ky lathy p chalna ho ga
mudaten ho gaen is ankh ko mazoor huwy
Andhay zehno say sochnay walo
harf main roshny milao kabhi
Be watan kehlaye apnay des main
apnay ghar main reh k be ghar ho gaye
Bhariay muj ko kahan pa saktay
wo agr mery hifazat krta
Dil sab kay mushtrik thay magr hoslay juda
koi bikhar gya to koi muskra dia
Kaya qayamat hay k jin k naam par paspa huway
un hi logon ko muqabil main saf ara dekhna
Jitny kam sachaey hogy utny hogy araesh
jab mazmoon say lafz hon zayd samjo ibarat khatm huwy
Jis khak say phoota hy usy khak ky khushboo
pehchan na paya to hunr kis kay liye tha
