Ghulam Ali sings the famous Ghazal by Parveen Shakir.

vo to Khushbuu hai havaaoN meN bikhar jaayegaa
mas’alaa phuul ka hai phuul kidhar jaayegaa

(mas’alaa : problem, issue)

ham to samjhe the ke ek zaKhm hai, bhar jaayegaa
kyaa Khabar thii ke rag-e-jaaN meN utar jaayegaa

(rag-e-jaaN : become veined, obstinate)

vo havaaoN kii tarah Khaanaa-bajaaN phirtaa hai
ek jhoNkaa hai jo aayegaa guzar jaayegaa

(Khaanaa-bajaaN : ruined and lifeless)

vo jab aayegaa to phir us kii rafaaqat ke liye
mausam-e-gul mere aaNgan meN Thaher jaayegaa

(rafaaqat : friendship; mausam-e-gul : season flower; aaNgan : courtyard)

aaKhirash vo bhii kahiiN ret pe baiThii hogii
teraa ye pyaar bhii dariyaa hai utar jaayegaa

(aaKhirash : ultimately; ret : sand)

Parvin Shakirs poetry is without doubt enjoyable. In my oppinion it has a refreshing quality.

It is a treat to read such nice poet, may ALLah bless her soul she was indeed a great mind as ordinary minds cant come up with such high class poetry. She was sure for one of the best weve had.
