A Portrait Of A Punjabi Girl Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

A portrait of a Punjabi girl,
Fairly tall,
Bold and daring
And adventurous,
No doubt an Indian girl,
But of the Punjab,
Lovely and beautiful,
White and florid,
A little different from
The European belles and beauties,
Taking us to Sind and Balochistan
Like the mannequins
Of the showrooms
Or the saleshouses,
The wax models of Madam Tussaud's,
Shirih and Fariyad,
Mona Lisa of Leonardo da Vinci,
The last Duchess of Robert Browning.
