Parveen Shakir's (1952 - 1994) strength was her her ghazals where she displayed her mastery over and creative use of the Urdu language.
Nevertheless, this Urdu song she wrote is a beautiful depiction of womanhood. One may compare this to Munir Niazi's poem describing the beloved (Saraapa, page 26, "Tayz Hawaa or Tanhaa Pphool" ) or to Fehmida Riaz's song-like poem "Muraqqa" .
