The Pardah Nashin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF EEEEEE| HER life is a revolving dream | A |
| Of languid and sequestered ease | B |
| Her girdles and her fillets gleam | A |
| Like changing fires on sunset seas | B |
| Her raiment is like morning mist | C |
| Shot opal gold and amethyst | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| From thieving light of eyes impure | D |
| From coveting sun or wind's caress | E |
| Her days are guarded and secure | D |
| Behind her carven lattices | E |
| Like jewels in a turbaned crest | F |
| Like secrets in a lover's breast | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| But though no hand unsanctioned dares | E |
| Unveil the mysteries of her grace | E |
| Time lifts the curtain unawares | E |
| And Sorrow looks into her face | E |
| Who shall prevent the subtle years | E |
| Or shield a woman's eyes from tears | E |
