tribute to a poetess--From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If he be scent
Original poem: Khushbu hai vo to

If he be scent, let him not touch me
and pass, until he be part of my existence.

The flower half-opened its lips,
I shall cleanse his lashes with my shawl
[So] the dust of this day's journey,
may not enter tomorrow's!

Through whom shall I send him today's prayer?
Ambassador, air, star - None visits
his abode!

Parveen Shakir (Urdu: پروین شاکر) (November 24, 1952 - December 26, 1994) was a Pakistani Urdu poet, teacher and a civil servant of the Government of Pakistan.
