The Dove-Girl and the Prince
She looked so beautiful in her naughtiness that the Prince fell in love with her that minute. And many years afterwards, when he became Emperor, he married her, and changed her name to Nŭr Mahal, "the Light of the Palace". And again, for she seemed more beautiful still to him every day, he changed it to Nŭr Jehan, "the Light of the World".
And her lovely face is still to be seen painted on ivory and vellum among the treasures of the ancient city of Delhi.
