Pritam is best remembered for her poignant poem, Ajj aakhaan Waris Shah nu (Today I invoke Waris Shah – "Ode to Waris Shah"), an elegy to the 18th-century Punjabi poet, an expression of her anguish over massacres during the partition of India. As a novelist, her most noted work was Pinjar ("The Skeleton", 1950), in which she created her memorable character, Puro, an epitome of violence against women, loss of humanity and ultimate surrender to existential fate; the novel was made into an award-winning film, Pinjar (2003).[4][5]

In 1935, Amrita married Pritam Singh, son of a hosiery merchant of Lahore's Anarkali bazaar.[citation needed] They had two children together, a son and a daughter. In 1960, Amrita Pritam left her husband.[citation needed] She is also said to have had an unrequited affection for poet Sahir Ludhianvi.[22]
