Complete list of tracks
"Parvin Shakir's first collection, Khushboo, appeared in 1977 when she was still in her 20s. The spontaneous expression of youthful feminine aspirations in it attracted the attention of readers and won her acclaim. As a critic said, her lyrics are the reflection of the emotions of an eastern woman. Unlike some other female poets who rejected the idea of gender differences, Parvin Shakir not only accepted it but rather took pride in it. However, her poetry is not only about romance but also against regression."
Ashfaque Naqvi, DAWN, 29th Dec, 2001
From the very first ghazal, "Hai Re Jaan", the audience, both young & old are mesmerized by the depth of the lyrics. We are reminded of the quality of the poetess, who launched her first collection, Khushboo, when she was still in her 20s. Once we reach the end of the VCD, experiencing 9 of her selected ghazals, we are left in no doubt that she was indeed the finest poetess of her generation.
One feels that Tina Sani's voice has certainly done justice to Parvin Shakir's ghazals.
