Considering women go through menstural cycle and every month for certain days they are asked by their God to refrain from doing supreme form of worshipping by defaults adds to the idea spiritual weakeness.

So it is good piece of examle of feminist poetry?
another exmple,
rozay rakhnay kam zana’n dy
there are several other examples.
anyway, we have done it before several times here. So I know i alone cannot change this perception.

I don’t live in Pakistan. never studied there, can’t finish a book in Urdu to save my life, don’t know what media says about Sufi poetry. However, I am a woman, an ex literature student, have studied plenty of feminist texts and the entire movement in itself, like to call myself a feminist. I can assure you, give me a Sufi text in an exam room condition and I would be able to answer how it is a pro-woman text. Literature is all about interpretation, there is technically no such thing is right or wrong literary interpretation.

peer and mureed analogy is the key to understand the message from sufi poetry.
A piece of sufi poetry either revolves around the romanticism of some female character or symbolizes woman as mureed in front man peer.
Well, if you think that romanticism is the actual way to address the women grievances then its your choice what get from sufi poetry.
