an expression of love, passion, heartache, the indifference of "la belle dame sans merci," of dejection and frustration, of longing and languor. We get all these things in Parveen Shakir’s poetry. The only difference here is that she looks at things from her own, i.e., her female perspective--a perspective which has hitherto been lacking in Urdu poetry.
