Khushbu / خوشبو Reviews
-
This book represents the art of a romantic young woman,her desires and longings,some quite wistful.Delicate emotions are expressed beautifully.
The book does justice to its title "khushboo" (fragrance).It was a great loss to Urdu poetry,when Parveen Shakir died tragically in a traffic accident.She was still young,but left a rich legacy. -
Can't believe she wrote this at 16!!
وہ غم کیا تھا جو آنسو نہ بن سکا ۔
وہ درد کیا تھا جو مصرعہ نہ بن سکا ۔ -
Undeniably, the best of the best by a female poet.
Parveen Shakir is the pioneer of azaad poetry. The way she interprets her feelings and desires for her beloved; the pain and longing she felt and not to forget her desire to retain girlhood for eternity and the fear to never enter the realm of womanhood for she wanted her love to be as pure and chaste as that of a young innocent girl who knows no heartbreak and still love to stargaze at night.
The way she makes my heart melt when I feel amd read her "Khushbu" is beyond description. -
وہ سمندر ہے تو پھر روح کو شاداب کرے
تشنگی کیوں مجھے دیتا ہے سرابوں کی طرح
یاد تو ہوں گی وہ باتیں تجھے اب بھی لیکن
شیلف میں رکھی ہوئی بند کتابوں کی طرح
کون جانے کہ نئے سال میں تو کس کو پڑھے
تیرا معیار بدلتا ہے نصابوں کی طرح
شوخ ہو جاتی ہے اب بھی تری آنکھوں کی چمک
گاہے گاہے ترے دلچسپ جوابوں کی طرح
ہجر کی شب مری تنہائی پہ دستک دے گی
تیری خوش بو مرے کھوئے ہوئے خوابوں کی طرح⚘️ -
Beautiful collection of Azad Nazam by my favourite poet Parveen Shakir....
وہ تو خوشبو ہے، ہوا میں بکھر جائے گا
مسئلہ تو پھول کا ہے، پھول کدھر جائے گا
Parveen shakir is the voice of today's young generation but unfortunately she left world too early. She's the one who spread like fragrance everywhere in very short time. But she will be everywhere through her poetry via her poetry and her imagination.
Her poetry is not confined to love or tge feeling of love but she also wrote about attitudes. She at one hand write about deprivations and also discuss today's society while she is not in this world.
Her poem " بے نسب ورثے کا بوجھ" is the one which is total reality of today's lustful society. Her poem on "لڑکیاں" won me heart and there are many more poems n Ghazals have special place in my heart. In essence of دوست ، اجنبی، گماں، کنگن بیلے کا، خوشبو کی زبان، احساس، رفاقت، عیادت، سفر، آزمائش، بچپنا،
She had lttle life but in this short span she earned a lot and a place for ever. This book clearly depict the art of a romance of young woman,her wishes, need some sadness. Nuanced emotions have expressed beautifully by Parveen Shakir in form of poetry....
The book does total relatable to its title "khushboo" -
Pioneer of Modern Poetry in Urdu and a great poetess loved by all those who understand the essence and richness of Urdu literature. She is considered the first of her kind to introduce femininity in the poetic realm & was well-received by the public. I enjoyed reading ''Khushbu'' and literally fell in love with quite many poems. Her composition has everything from tickles of love to heartbreak, from worldly troubles to uncovering solutions.

چاندنی،
اس دریچے کو چھو کر
مرے نیم روشن جھروکے میں آئے، نہ آئے
مگر
میری پلکوں کی تقدیر سے نیند چنتی رہے
اور اس آنکھ کے خواب بنتی رہے! -
Book Review
Khushbu by Parveen Shakir
Firstly, a short introduction of the writer. Parveen Shakir is an Urdu poetess, educator and a municipal servant of the Government of Pakistan. Khushbu (Frangrance) was her first volume of poetry, which made her incredible recognition. She won the Adamjee Literary Award for this book. She was the first ever author to make utilization of ladylike pronouns in writing.
She usually writes on affection, feminism and social humiliation. Her work has been frequently in light of romance, letting out the ideas of adoration, attractiveness and their flaws. She comprehensively combined the usage of comparisons, allegories and characterization.
In Khushbu, She appears as a young sentimental girl who holds great aesthetic sense and an eye for beauty. She is absolutely in love with her femininity and never tries to shroud it. She asserts herself and wants the world to believe that a young girl’s innocence and feelings are worth expressing and worth experiencing. Partition is also a stressed theme of the book.
Parveen died in a road accident in 1994, in a road accident. However, her tragic death immortalized her.
مر بھی جاؤں تو کہاں لوگ بھلا ہی دیں گے
لفظ میرے، میرے ہونے کی گواہی دیں گے ۔
(People won’t forget me, even after my demise
My words would be my testament) -
میں تھک گئی ہوں اندر کی خانہ جنگی سے—پروین شا کر(خوشبو)
میں نے یہ کتاب أٹھ سال پہلے پڑھی تھی لیکن کچھ بھی سمجھ نھیں آیا-اب دوبارہ پڑھنے کا موقع ملا- اس سے متعلق کالم کھنگالنے کے بعد بہتر طور سے پتہ چلا- شاعر کی یہ پہلی کتاب تھی جسے قلم بند کیا گیا- پر وین شاکرکو یہ معلوم تھا کہ کیسے غم کو خوشی کے جز بات میں لپیٹ کر پیش کیا جاءے- انھوں نےتصوراتی انداز اپنایا -اور بچپن سے جوانی تک کے ایک لڑکی کو در پیش مسائل کو انوکھے انداز میں پیش کیا- -
وہ تو خوشبو ہے، ہواؤں میں بکھر جائے گا
مسئلہ پُھول کا ہے، پُھول کدھر جائے گا
ہم تو سمجھے تھے کہ اِک زخم ہے، بھر جائے گا
کیا خبر تھی کہ رگِ جاں میں اُتر جائے گا
وہ ہواؤں کی طرح خانہ بجاں پھرتا ہے
ایک جھونکا ہے جو آئے گا، گُزر جائے گا
وہ جب آئے گا تو پھر اُس کی رفاقت کے لیے
موسمِ گُل مرے آنگن میں ٹھہر جائے گا
آخرش وہ بھی کہیں ریت پہ بیٹھی ہو گی
تیرا یہ پیار بھی دریا ہے ،اُتر جائے گا
مجھ کو تہذیب کے برزخ کا بنایا وارث
جُرم یہ بھی مرے اجداد کے سر جائے گا -
She named her first book khushboo,fragrance. She loved flowers,she loved their fragrance and it was one of her favorite themes for her poems,from that day on words she sealed her name on the cartels of fame.till today khushboo is the best selling books.
