Parveen Shakir: Theher Jaye, Magar Raat Katay

Parveen Shakir
Parveen Shakir was an Urdu poet, teacher and a civil servant of the Government of Pakistan. Shakir started writing at an early age and published her first volume of poetry, Khushbu [Fragrance], to great acclaim, in 1976. 



Theher Jaye, Magar Raat Katay



Theher Jaye, Magar Raat Katay
Koi Soorat Ho Ke Barsaat Katay

Khushbuuain Mujhko Qalam Karti Gayin
Shaakh Dar Shaakh Mere Haath Katay

Mouj-e-Gul Hai Ke Talwaar Koi
Darmiaan Se Hee Manajaat Katay

Harf Kiun Apne Ganwayein Jaa Kar
Baat Se Phele Jahan Baat Katay

Chaand ! Aa Mil Ke Manayein Ye Shab
Aaj Ki Raat Tere Saath Katay

Pooray Insaanon Mein Ghus Aayein Hain
Sar Katay, Jism Katay, Zaat Katay
