Parveen Shakir: Puuraa dukh aur aadhaa chaand

Parveen Shakir 

was a legendary female poet who started her professional career in her childhood. Her first book was “Khushbu”. Then she came up with other books named Sad-Barg, Khud’kalaami, and Inkar. Sadly, she died in a car accident while she was going to work in 1994.

We are always willing to add more and more poetry of her.

Puuraa dukh aur aadhaa chaand

puuraa dukh aur aadhaa chaand

hijr kii shab aur aisaa chaand

itane ghane baadal ke piichhe 

kitanaa tanhaa hogaa chaand

merii karavaT par jaag uThe 

niind kaa kitanaa kachchaa chaand

seharaa seharaa bhaTak rahaa hai 

apane ishq mein sachchaa chaand

raat ke shaayad ek baje hain 

sotaa hogaa meraa chaand
