Abstract:
Shafiq Fatima Shera (1937-2012) belonged to the group of trend-setter poets, and she is the one whose poetry has its own thematic structure and style. She didn’t assimilate herself with the modernist trend of her age, neither she opted to be part of any literary movement. Her poetry carved its niche. Shafiq Fatima Shera surpasses many of her contemporaries in the matter of originality of theme and style. Her contributions to Urdu poetry were set aside simply due to the reason that she wrote in a language and diction that was ‘difficult to understand’. Her poetry has the richest and most thoughtful blend of imagery and style. She overshadows her contemporaries in poetic style and imagination. The anthology Silsila -e Mukālamāt carries her important poems. In this article Shafiq Fatima Shera discusses her thought process with respect to her poetry.
