Parveen Shakir Life Story

Javed has painstakingly picked and incorporated Shakir's sonnets comparing with different stages and occasions in her day to day existence — her initial life, marriage, the introduction of her lone youngster Murad; her partition from her significant other, the charges, and later the anguish of dejection. It gives a great deal of point of view to the verse and is carefully done, enhancing the book. Shakir got various renowned honors for her work, incorporating the Adamjee Award in 1978 and Pride of Performance in 1991. The interpretations of her verse into English, Japanese and Sanskrit started during her lifetime. 

'Najanay kiyun?' is a concise part in the book wherein Javed portrays the occasions of Shakir's most recent 24 hours. Shakir couldn't make it to Javed's home for a Sunday lunch. Nonetheless, she shocked Javed by appearing near 12 PM alongside her child, and requested that Javed go out for frozen yogurt. The climate was cold. Javed laments her failure to satisfy that wish. In the interim, Shakir additionally returned some gems she had acquired from Javed, saying "Zindagi ka kya bharosa, kya khabar, Rafaqat?" 

The companionship among Javed and Shakir developed further with the progression of time. Shakir, as a rule alongside her child Murad, was a successive visitor at Javed's home. First in New Delhi and later in Risalpur, Peshawar, Kamra lastly Islamabad, where the families in the end settled. Shakir kicked the bucket in an auto collision in December 1994, in Islamabad. It was another stormy day. She was 42.
