Shafiq Fatima Sh’era: chañd bāteñ
شفیق فاطمہ شعریٰ: چند باتیں

Mushaf Iqbal Tausifi

Abstract:

Shafiq Fatima Shera is usually considered a difficult poet. This paper purports to study Shafiq Fatima Shera’s poetics (structure, form, discourse, and themes) and poetry to establish the fact that despite being as great a poet as some of her contemporaries, her contributions to Urdu nazm were not widely approved due to chauvinism. It will be an attempt to establish her merits as a nazm-writer.
