Perveen Shakir Style
Shakir employed mainly two forms of poetry in her work, one being the prevalent
ghazal [plural:
ghazalyaat],
and the other being free verse. The most prominent themes in Shakir's
poetry are love, feminism, and social stigmas, though she occasionally
wrote on other topics as well. Her work was often based on romanticism,
exploring the concepts of love, beauty and their contradictions, and
heavily integrated the use of metaphors, similes and personifications.
