The Beautiful One Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Nefertiti
"The beautiful one has arrived"
In the year 1346 BC.
In the royal city of Amarna, Egypt.
Lady to the Pharaoh Akhenaten.

O time of times,
O beauty of all times,
Of peace and a living sensibility.

Of blue hairs and ribbon of silk,
Half way up.
The arched neck and eye brows,
Chiseled cheeks and mysterious smile.
The fine lines around lips.
A bygone elegance garlanded.

O time of times,
O beauty of all times,
Of peace and a living sensibility.

On completion of one hundred years of discovery of the bust of
Queen Nefertiti, by Ludwig Borchardt.
