Re: Meri Pasand ki 10 Ghazlen / Nazmen (madz124)
There are a few other notable female names like Kishwar Naheed, Fehmida Riaz, Nosheen Gillani, etc. But I think Parveen was/is the most loved out of all because of the grace, eloquence and boldness in her style. She wrote mainly about love, and presented the emotions beautifully. This was different than male writers representing female emotions, despite not being able to fully grasp all the different cycles/roles/internal conflicts that our women go through in a lifetime. She protested against tradition and favoured a more progressive mindset. Other than that, her writing is simple and easily understood by the masses. When young girls can relate to her writing and are able to empathize with her, it becomes easier to visualize her as a role model.
I think she got rhythm in her poetry thats why her poetry was sung more than any female poet. This made her popular. She was balanced in portraying her views unlike Kishwar Naheed and fehmida Riaz, jo baat baat pe khuda se jang ladne lagti hain.
