Space-tacular her
A prestigious lady with efficacious skills, Analyst and an innovative masterstroke Counted as a renowned scientist Let her name be “acrostically” disclosed.
“Holdeth passion for the space and universe, Likin’ the glorious view of skies amidst the night Embracin’ astronomy and overhauled spaceflight, Dreams and goals whither widely disperse Neither adversity nor misery letteth her intent inverse She forced for asylum during the country's strife Under fair blue sky, she spends her cold dismal night Despite hardships and situations adverse, She determinately becomes a rocket engineer And served as a role model for all the girls Operating in the launch services program, pursued her career An astronaut in NASA and a legend of the world”
Hint: From the quoted lines assemble the first letter from the first line, from the second line select the second letter and go on in the same pattern till the name unfurls. The poetry follows the Italian sonnet (consists of octave rhyming ABBAABBA and sestet rhyming CDCDCD) to praise the Pakistani woman for her persistent effort and paramount outcome that becomes a source of inspiration for all girls across the globe, signifying a bright future of a country.
The name hidden in poetry is "Hibah Rahmani"
