~ THE VEIL ~

They say, oh poor girl, you’re so beautiful you know

It’s a shame that you cover up your beauty so.

She just smiles and graciously responds reassuringly,

This beauty that I have is just one simple part of me

This body that I have, no stranger has the right to see.


These long clothes, this shawl I wear, ensure my modesty


Faith is more essential than fashion, wouldn’t you agree?

This hijab,

This mark of piety,


It an act of faith, a symbol,


For all the world to see.


A simple cloth, to protect her dignity.

So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.

They tell her, girl don’t you know

This is the west and you are free?

You don’t need to be oppressed,

Ashamed of your femininity,

She just shakes her head and

She speaks so assuredly,






See the bill-boards and the magazines

That line the check-out isles,


With their phony painted faces and their


Air-brushed smiles?

Well their sheer clothes and low cut gowns

They are really not for me,

You call it freedom, I call it anarchy.

This hijab,

This mark of piety,

Is an act of faith, a symbol,

For all the world to see,


A simple cloth, to protect her dignity.

 So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity.


Lift the veil from your heart of purity.

its not easy to 'istiqamah'in all our action..but try first compare not do anything...right????
