Aks-e-Khushboo Houn as “Reflection of Fragrance,” the title itself evokes a sense of mystique, inviting readers into a world where the intangible essence of fragrance mirrors the ineffable qualities of love. Perveen Shakir’s poetry often navigates the complexities of human relationships with a rare blend of depth and simplicity, and “Aks-e-Khusbhoo Houn” is no exception.
عکس خوشبو ہوں بکھرنے سے نہ روکے کوئی
اور بکھر جاؤں تو مجھ کو نہ سمیٹے کوئی
کانپ اٹھتی ہوں یہ سوچ کر تنہائی میں
میرے چہرے پہ تیرا نام نہ پڑھ لے کوئی
جس طرح خواب میرے ہوگئے ریزہ ریزہ
اس طرح سے نہ کبھی ٹوٹ کر بکھرے کوئی
میں تو اس دن سے ہراساں ہوں کہ جب حکم ملے
خشک پھولوں کو کتابوں میں نہ رکھے کوئی
کوئی آہٹ کوئی آواز کوئی چاپ نہیں
دل کی گلیاں بڑی سنسان ہیں آئے کوئی
One of the most striking aspects of Shakir’s poetry is her ability to infuse everyday experiences with profound meaning. In “Aks-e-Khusbhoo Houn,” she seamlessly weaves together imagery from the natural world with the tumultuous landscape of human emotions. The fragrance, a symbol of ephemeral beauty and fleeting moments, becomes a metaphor for the transient nature of love itself.

Aks-e-Khushboo Hon Bikharne Se Na Rokay Koi
Aur Bikhar Jaoon To Mujh Ko Na Samety Koi
Kaanp Uthti Hon Yeh Soch Kar Tanhai Mein
Mere Chehray Pay Tera Naam Na Parh Le Koi
Jis Terhan Khawab Mere Hogaye Rezah Rezah
Is Terhan Se Nah Kabhi Toot Kar Bikhare Koi
Mein To Uss Din Se Harasan Hon Ke Jab Hukum Miley
Khushk Phoolon Ko Kitabon Mein Na Rakhay Koi
Koi Aahat Koi Aawaz Koi Chaap Nahi
Dil Ki Galian Barri Sunsaan Hain Aaye Koi
