Meena Kumari was one who could as she had a special love for good things in life and poetry was one of them. She would jot down the romantic moments that touched and they were accumulated all through her life. After her death, they were passed on to Gulzar.
Meena Kumari liked poetry of faiz ahmed faiz and many other Urdu poets of this subcontinent.
When she was alone most of the time after her divorce with Kamal Amrohi, she made poetry her only escape. Meena Kumari wrote beautiful poetry. which is there to last and will keep alive the person.
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. Openly and beautifully expressing the wounds that life gave, her blend of Romantic and sad is uncomparable.
Melancholy, pain and sadness are evidently clear in her poetry. She liked pain and lived into it and her poetry is no exception. Her experiences and loneliness are clearly visible in her writngs which are full of this suffering and pain. Her own feelings toward life are clearly put forward in her poetry. She was a person to see the thorns first and flowers next and the same is projected in her poetry.
She also recorded some of her own poetry in her own voice which was released under the name of I write I recite by EMI.
