Today is the birth anniversary of PARVEEN SHAKIR one of the most popular woman urdu poets who gave expression to feelings and experiences specific to women.

While reading her poems today,one of her poems reminded me of AKHEERA and I could not stop myself from sharing that poem here.

Sabz madham roshni me surkh aanchal ki dhanak

sard kamre me machalati garm saanson ki mehak

(The room - cold, the light - pale green her red sari's border rustles on her head, as they hug each other embracing closely their warm fragrant breaths warm the room)

Baazuon ke sakht halqe me koi nazuk badan

silvatain malboos per aanchal bhi kuch dhalka hua

(His manly arms now around her soft body, her dress gets rumpled her sari's end slips from her head)

Garmi-e-rukhsar se dehki hui thandi hava

narm zulfon se mulayam ungliyon ki ched chad

(The cold breeze feels warmth from her glowing red cheeks as through her silky tresses he moves his fingers lovingly now)

Surkh honton par shararat ke kisi lamhe ka aks

reshmi bahon me chudi ki kabhi madham dhanak

(For a moment he kisses her red lips as her bangles clink on her soft wrists)

Sharmagin lehjon me dheere se kabhi chahat ki baat

do dilon ki dharkanon me gunjti thi ek sada

(Words of passion uttered modestly now and then desiring each other two hearts beat in unison)

Kaanpate honton pe thi Allah se sirf ek dua

kaash ye lamhe thahar jaye, thahar jaye zaraa.

(Their lips aquiver they ask God together -please give us moments like these forever.)
