POETRY OF THE TRAGEDY QUEEN
Poetry - the other reflection-
The melancholic and the romantic - mix into the poetry which is there to last and will keep alive the person. Meena Kumari was alone most of the time after her divorce with Kamal Amrohi and poetry was her only escape. She wrote beautiful poetry. She also recorded some of her poetry in an album called "I write I recite". She used to write with the penname of Meena Kumari 'Naaz'.And she is no mean poet. Meena Kumari was also a good poet in her own right who wrote urdu shairy under the pen name 'Naaz'. Openly ans beautifully expressing the wounds. Meena Kumari's poetry is known to be full of melancholy, pain and sadness. She liked pain and lived into it. However, she had a high feeling for the romantic and she could feel the romantic in many moments.Meena Kumari was perhaps one of the most beautiful and talented personalities to happen to the Indian film industry. 


Puuchhate ho to suno kaise basar hotii hai 
Raat Khairaat kii sadqe kii sahar hotii hai 

Saa.Ns bharane ko to jiinaa nahii.n kahate yaa rab 
Dil hii dukhataa hai na ab aasteen tar hotii hai 

Jaise jaagii huii aa.Nkho.n me.n chubhe.n kaa.Nch ke Khvaab 
Raat is tarah diivaano.n kii basar hotii hai 

Gam hii dushman hai meraa Gam hii ko dil Dhuu.NDhataa hai 
Ek lamhe kii judaaii bhii agar hotii hai 

Ek markaz kii talaash ek bhaTakatii Khushbuu 
Kabhii ma.nzil kabhii tamhiid-e-safar hotii hai 

- Meena Kumari
