Description

The basic subject of this book is based on sufism and that level of love for Almighty that can only attained with true emotion. This love for Allah is presented in a beautiful way. Saqiba Noor believes that

“hain bhi isee jahan main         aur han nahin bhi hain”

“wo dekhey na dekhey murzi hai

balak tau maa key pass jaey hai”

“her din jo guzerta hai piyarey

humain tujh sey qareeb kerta hai”

“jub sub purday utha diey tum ney

sarey purday giray diey hum ney”

This world is a journey, an amusement says the poetess who has been deeply hurt by this selfish world. This collection of poems is mysterious, beautiful and very melancholy but not without hope. Saqiba who has a soft heart for all Gods creatures, who spent endless hours working for the betterment of the less fortunate says:

“zamana sahab zer hai

aur hum qalam thamey hain”

“otho otho odaas nuslain khety hain

sotey raho gai ab bhi kuch ker chalo”

“Aoroon key zakham bhuroo kiyoon roog lagatey ho”

“kitna kaaj para hai dekho janey ka samaa aney luga”

Purda is a collection which means to veil oneself from materialism, arrogance, jealousy and hypocrisy. It is her love for Allah that is forcing her to disappear behind the veil.
