Both fair and rosy, too, are the Adam Khel Afridi maids;
Indeed, amongst them, all sorts of pretty lasses there are-
With large eyes, long drooping lashes, and arched eyebrows-
Honey lips, rosy cheeks, and moon-like faces, too, have they.
Small mouths, like unto rose-buds, teeth regular and white-
Their heads round, and covered with dark curls, of amber redolent.
Their bodies soft and sleek, and like an egg, so smooth and glossy-
Their feet diminutive, their heels round, their hips prominent.
Thin stomached, broad chested, and small waisted
In stature, straight, like the letter alif;
(Khoshal Khan Khattak)
