Click above to listen this ghazal in Parveen Shakir’s own voice.
paa-ba-gil sab haiN rihaa’ii ki kare tadbiir kaun
dast-bastaa shah’r meN khole merii zanjiir kaun
mera sar haazir hai lekin meraa munsif dekh le
kar rahaa hai mere fard-e-jurm ko tahariir kaun
meri chaadar to chhinii thii shaam kii tanhaa’ii ne
be-ridaa’ii ko merii phir de gayaa tash-hiir kaun
niind jab khvaabon se pyaarii ho to aise ah’d meN
khvaab dekhe kaun aur khvaabon ko de taabiir kaun
ret abhii pichhle makaanoN kii na vaapas aa’ii thii
phir lab-e-saahil gharaundaa kar gayaa taamiir kaun
saare rishte hijraton meN saath dete hain to phir
shah’r se jaate hu’e hotaa hai daaman-giir kaun
dushmanoN ke saath mere dost bhii aazaad haiN
dekhnaa hai khiinchataa hai mujh pe pehlaa tiir kaun

Bohat Khoob
very good,
Parveen Shakir’s poetry is the best. Her use of urdu words makes the poem so meaningful. What an artist. In her death we lost a great treasure.
I have put the hindi transliteration here
