She came down to the earth from the high skies, <br />When she opened her pretty and innocent eyes, <br />She was found in a field of richly yield, <br />She remained in love with her soil and field. <br />She was brought up by a king with a great empire, <br />Never lacked anything, no need was dire. <br /> <br />A princess was she and a palace her home, <br />Touching sun and moon, was golden, its dome, <br />Diamonds and pearls were toys for her, <br />Spoons were gold and plates were silver, <br />She was found in earth and she rules the earth, <br />She was pious and pure and a symbol of worth. <br /> <br />She was very shy and innocent and an ideal wife, <br />Like a shadow she followed her husband, all life, <br />For a period of fourteen very painful years, <br />Without an smile but full of tears, <br />She lived in the forest whereat kidnapped, <br />But remained untouched, and couldn't be cracked. <br /> <br />While she was going to the forest on foot, <br />Nimble footed, no slipper, no boot, <br />A woman on way asked about her companion, <br />Who was that handsome and her relation and union, <br />Moved eyelids, smiled but didn't utter, <br />And she knew who he was and why with her.<br /><br />Akhtar Jawad<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shyness-of-a-south-asian-woman/
