<p data-end="266" data-start="0">This video is a curated reading of <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline">Parveen Shakir</span>, chosen from <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline">Rekhta</span>, where love is never just romance. It’s also self-respect, vulnerability, longing, and a sharp awareness of what society expects from a woman.</p><p data-end="533" data-start="268">Parveen’s sher have a rare balance: they feel intimate, but they’re never careless. The language is clean, the emotions are precise, and the insight lands quietly, then stays. Watch this like a slow read. Pause where a line feels too accurate, and give it a minute.</p> Shagufta Yasmeen
