THE GARDEN OF BRIGHT WATERS AFGHANIS TAN THE PRINCESS OF QULZUM (Ballade by Nur Uddin) I have seen a small proud face brimming with sunlight; I have seen the daughter of the King of Qulzum passing from grace to grace. Yesterday she threw her bed on the floor of her double house And laughed with a thousand graces. She has a little pearl and coral cap And rides in a palanquin with servants about her And claps her hands, being too proud to call. I have seen a small proud face brimming with sunlight. *' My palanquin is truly green and blue ; I fill the world with pomp and take my pleasure ; I make men run up and down before me, And am not as young a girl as you pretend. I am of Iran, of a powerful house. I am pure steel. I hear that I am spoken of in Lahore." I have seen a small proud face brimming with sunlight. b 17
