A Princess Sapphire

Love he must even if
the beloved is enemy's daughter
Forgive he does even if
he proves to be the nemesis thereafter

A man of valour and compassion
captured my childhood imagination
He was Prithviraj Chauhan
A hero of everyone's fascination

The kingdom is gone
but the legend grows
Traditions changed
legacy continues

Silky locks, dreamy eyes
an inherent grace;
With a mesmerising smile
she is born to beguile

Makes an impact
wherever she walks
Into a classroom
or a life

She is hip
she is cool
loves to play pool

May not know the rule

One day came the revelation
Not tough to decipher
Awestruck I was to know
Prithviraj was her forebear

In changing times
she is a commoner
At another age would've been
A Princess Sapphire.
