Poem

In honour of World Hijab Day (01/02) and the wondeful article written by Ayesha Amra about Hijab.... here is a simple poem called "Cover" about modest dressing and Hijab.

Wearing hejab for Allah alone – wear it right
And Allah will shower you with soothing light

Wear baggy clothes so guys won't be attracted
To view you for your words and not get distracted

My scarves a crown that I place on with pride
Our beauty is treasure that we should protect and hide
 
See, my scarves not oppression; it's freedom to light
Islam, my religion, gives women full rights

Us ladies are diamonds that need to be protected
I cover my bode, for my mind I want to be respected
 
My religion honours her, it fears for her safety
Women are not meant to be viewed as hungry beauty

Beauty fades but minds are ongoing blooming books
So want her for how she thinks & not how she looks
