aamad pe teri itr o charagh o subu na hon
itna bhi bud-o-bash ko sada nahin kiya
Parveen Shakir
ab bhi barsat ki raaton mein badan TuTta hai
jag uThti hain ajab KHwahishen angDai ki
Till even now in rainy climes, my limbs are aching, sore
The yen to stretch out languidly then comes to the fore
Parveen Shakir
ab to is rah se wo shaKHs guzarta bhi nahin
ab kis ummid pe darwaze se jhanke koi
Parveen Shakir
ab un darichon pe gahre dabiz parde hain
wo tank-jhank ka masum silsila bhi gaya
Parveen Shakir
abr barse to inayat us ki
shaKH to sirf dua karti hai
Parveen Shakir
ajab nahin hai ki dil par jami mili kai
bahut dinon se to ye hauz saf bhi na hua
Parveen Shakir
aks-e-KHushbu hun bikharne se na roke koi
aur bikhar jaun to mujh ko na sameTe koi
Parveen Shakir
apne qatil ki zehanat se pareshan hun main
roz ek maut nae tarz ki ijad kare
Parveen Shakir
apni ruswai tere nam ka charcha dekhun
ek zara sher kahun aur main kya kya dekhun
Parveen Shakir
