She had the bravery
To fight patriarchy
And society rooted with misogyny....
She made her mark
With reality stark
Writing on womens' lives dark....
In Urdu, where only traditional views prevailed,
She gave a new progressive outlook that acclaimed
Her as one of the best literary genius who portrayed
Life of all shades she perceived....
Ismat the outspoken writer
Stands out as a great writer for ever...!
