Lost Paradise

Abstract
“Do you know where the paradise under my feet has disappeared?” The mad woman was asking the same question to everyone in the bazaar. Her repetitions drag the narrator back several years to the past. Rubina Shabnam’s “Lost Paradise” can be read as a metaphorical story of the status of a woman in society. The story resonates of a Hadith (traditions of the prophet Muhammad): “Paradise lies under mother’s feet.” The anonymous mad protagonist of the story is on a futile quest for the paradise that was supposed to be under her feet. It is a story of loss and futility. Translated from Punjabi by Hina Nandrajog
