In this episode, we explore the timeless poetry of Parveen Shakir, one of the most beloved voices in Urdu literature. Her verses carry the fragrance of romance, the ache of heartbreak, and the courage of a woman owning her identity in a deeply patriarchal world. By calling herself a "ladki" in her poetry—a term often dismissed or infantilized—Shakir carved a revolutionary space for femininity, desire, and emotional depth in literature.
We’ll dive into her iconic ghazals, the sadness in her metaphors, her bold romantic imagery, and how she challenged traditional gender norms while remaining delicate, lyrical, and deeply human.
Whether you’re a poetry lover or new to her work, this episode is a tribute to Parveen’s complex, powerful, and ever-relevant voice.
