Habba Khatun

Poems by a Queen of Kashmir

Translated by Nilla Cram Crook

Habba Khatun

I left my home for play

Nor yet again

Returned, although the day

Sank in the West.

The name I made is hailed

On lips of men,

Habba Khatun! Though veiled,

I found no rest.

Through crowds I found my way,

From forests, then,

The sages came, when day

Sank in the West.

Lol of the Lonely Pine

The one who dazzles – have you seen that one?

Upon him look!

A sleepless stream, in search of him I run,

A restless brook.

In far-off woods, a lonely pine I stood

Till he appeared,

My woodcutter, and came to cut the wood.

His fire I feared,

Yet though he burn my logs, behold, I shine,

My ashes wine!
