The Beloved Queen of Petra
Among the rose-red cliffs of Petra and the golden expanses of the desert,
She reigned not only as a sovereign of Nabataea,
But as a bridge between lands,
Her influence extending to the sands of what we now call Saudi Arabia.
Queen Shapila was a ruler who understood the pulse of the desert,
The whispers of the wind that carried stories between the mountains and oases.
She united tribes and trade routes,
Weaving a tapestry of cultures that flourished under her care.
Her reign was marked by wisdom beyond her time,
For she ruled with a heart that embraced her people.
They called her “Mother of the Desert,”
A queen whose touch could bring life to barren lands,
And whose compassion was the lifeblood of her kingdom.
From the towering peaks of Petra to the vast dunes of the Arabian Peninsula,
Her name became a melody sung by caravans,
A symbol of unity, strength, and vision.
Today, her legacy lingers in the timeless sands of Saudi Arabia,
In the ancient routes that still remember her grace,
And in the hearts of those who see her not just as a queen,
But as a guardian of a land that stretches beyond borders,
A land where her spirit continues to reign.
