Description:Parveen Shakir is widely considered to be the greatest Urdu female poet. She was born in Karachi – Pakistan on 24 November 1952 and started writing both prose and poetry at an early age, contributing columns to newspapers and articles to English dailies. Shakir published 5 books of poetry, the first being ‘Khushbu’ [‘Fragrance’], (1976) to great acclaim followed by ‘Sad Barg’ [‘Marsh Marigold’] (1980), ‘Khud Kalami’ [‘Soliloquy’] and ‘Inkar’ [‘Denial’] (1990), and ‘Kaf e Aina’ [‘The Mirror's Edge’] besides a collection of her newspaper columns enitled ‘Gosha e Chashm’ [‘The Sight Corner’]. Shakir died in a car accident on 26 December 1994, when her car collided with a bus while on her way to work.The poems translated are from the latter phase of Parveen Shakir’s poetry where she is a serious, troubled working woman, burdened by her early successes in life and the personal tragedies that she encountered. In a way, this phase of her poetry has been less studied. Shakir to most Urdu poetry readers is best known for her early works that continue to be bestsellers for their fresh and uninhibited confessions of love, vulnerability and sexual tension. However, her later poetry challenged several constructs - Of women poets’ persona and treatment, of working women’s little private hells in her country and difficult political and social subjects. For instance in a poem entitled ‘Advice’ her attitude to love is almost dark. ‘Tomato Ketchup’ is a moving poem, cynical in parts and loudly political as well. In effect, it brings out the ugliness of the literary scene when it comes to the objectification of female poets, [as does] ‘Advice from a Senior Executive’ on the way to the top in the Pakistani civil service, where her senior officer chides her for being a poet almost telling her that like an appendix the poet in her needs a surgery.(Raza Rumi).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
