Fearing the fundamentalists,
She will not return
From perhaps
As she has become
The love
Of an American Jewish boy.
The Pakistani dulhan
Of the American Jewish boy,
An intercontinental marriage
Cutting the boundaries
Of which but it divides
Which but love knows it not
And the protagonist too has to grow
With the changing to times.
