Abstract
Exploited humanity and suppressed segments of society has always been the subject of Urdu writers. From Pakistan movement to date one can see that Urdu writers have always raised voices for the people falling prey to the cruelties of the oppressors. The role of Pakistani women poets, in this connection is significant in the sense that more often than not they have raised voices against the internal oppression rather than external aggression. In order to keep it brief, this study focuses on only Fehmida Riaz, Parvin Shakir and Kishver Nahid otherwise women poets like Sara Shagufat, Zahra Nigar, Noshi Gilani, Rehana Qamar, Nasim Akhtar and many other can be mentioned who not only raised voice for women rights rather they made our women realize that they are not to be fallen prey to exploitation and male dominance. Fehmida Riaz showed the women poets the new avenues of expression and for the first time challenged the male dominance. Parvin Shakir, besides pin-pointing and promoting the sensitivity and slender attributes of the eastern women, stimulated them to stand up for their rights and not to allow the males to devour them like a funny cake. Kishver Nahid is not an exception in this connection but instead of coming up as an upright rebellion, she adopted a moderate expression. However, Kishver believes that women should not be subjected to follow man-made rules, they must be allowed to lead the life in accordance with their conscience.
