Here is my poem ‘’ Gawah Mangta hai” my poem tries to dig deep into what goes around the mind of a woman who is constantly being asked for an evidence of harassment. میلی وہ مجھ پر نگاہ ڈالتا ہے میں روکوں تو مجھ سے گواہ مانگتا ہے

Between “your thesis is poetic not academic” to “ leave Sara Shagufta out of this thesis” I managed to get myself done with my four years of learning and unlearning a lot of stuff. This book in my hand is my research thesis about the male domination in Urdu poetry post 1947.

Here’s to turning 25 today and knowing that the journey only gets tougher ahead. I hope I don’t end up being that woman who has to compromise on dreams. I hope the shallowness of the world doesn’t swallow me in. I hope I can write poems about the free birds 🦅 🦋

It was 2019, I was thinking hard what to write on my first Aurat March placard. I thought of what I had gone through in 2018 when I was told to leave the house at 3 am. I thought about that night and I wrote this on my placard. Lost it during the March but found it in these hands

The traditional man wants a woman to be subservient, but he never falls in love with subservient women. He's attracted to independent women. "He's like an exotic bird collector," she said. "He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage.

Bano Qudsia is a gangster of Urdu literature, mafia as they call it. She repeatedly tried to force women to love only as she did and romance as she did. She not only creates a female villain by making her a career oriented character but she also tries to dictate sexual preference

It’s hard seeing your father on the hospital bed unable to help himself when all your life you’ve seen this man taking care of everything and giving you strength. Had last three most difficult days of my life but he’s doing better now. ❤️

I wrote my first poem on her death & my father managed to get that published in a newspaper . I still feel I didn’t know her well enough & I know you can never really know a person completely. To me, she’s the first scratch on the patriarchal politics of Pakistan

It’s awkward to see mubashir luqman doing a space on justice for Noor. It’s the same guy who called Ali Z and made fun of Meesha’s claims on the grounds of her looks.(how can she be harassed?)How can somebody stand with an alleged harasser and become a messiah for another woman?

موٹر سائیکل پر سوار ایک آدمی میرے پاس سے گزرا اور کہا کہ تم پر لعنت ہو لعنت میں اور میرے دوست مارچ کے ساتھ ملنے جا رہے تھے۔ سچ کہوں تو برا نہیں لگا بلکہ ایسے مردوں کی خراب تربیت اور بیمار سوچ پر ترس آیا ۔ ایک انسان خود کو اسلام کا محافظ سمجھتا ہو اور سڑک پر چلتی عورتوں کو لعنت دے

I received my book today. Feels awkward bcs I feel publishing is an insult to a poet’s sentiments, dragging a poet into the world is outrageous but here I am, dragged. Dedicating my first book to Sara, who wanted to be published but killed herself before she could do that.

تمہارے اور میرے ڈر مختلف ہیں۔
میں ہوا سے بھی ڈرتی ہوں کہ
کہیں مجھ سے یوں نہ ٹکرا جائے کہ
میری کمر کا کوئی حصہ نمایا ہوجائے
تم ہوا سے نہیں ڈرتے، ڈرو بھی کیوں
تمہاری تو نہ ہی کمر ہے نہ ہی کوئی شناخت
نہ ہی تم نظروں کے دائروں میں سما پاتے ہو

کچھ تو نازک مزاج ہیں ہم بھی
اور یہ چوٹ بھی نئی ہے ابھی
شور برپا ہے خانۂ دل میں
کوئی دیوار سی گری ہے ابھی
بھری دنیا میں جی نہیں لگتا
جانے کس چیز کی کمی ہے ابھی ۔۔

محبتوں میں یہ امکان تھوڑی ہوتا ہے
کسی کو بھولنا آسان تھوڑی ہوتا ہے
مجھے کسی سے محبت ہے اور کتنی ہے
ہر ایک بات کا اعلان تھوڑی ہوتا ہے
نگاہِ یار ابھی تک تیرے خمار میں ہوں
جو ٹوٹ جائے وہ پیمان تھوڑی ہوتا ہے
