She rose to fame with her Punjabi poem, 'Ajj Aankhan Vaaris Shah Nu', which details the inhuman violence in Punjab at the time of India's Partition in heartbreaking detail. It won acclaim on both sides of the India-Pakistan border.Raseedi Ticket is Amrita Pritam's celebrated autobiography, which tells us how she felt distressed at the influence of hate; she was traumatised by the horrors of the Partition, out of which her poem 'Vaaris Shah' was born. Her autobiography says that a writer should not be afraid of criticism, no matter how hostile the world might become. The time between her intimacy with Sahir and deep friendship with Imroz is described beautifully. Reading this book is like being in a fever which takes you through every truth of the writer's life.
