Pride of a Woman

I was walking absentmindedly on the street When I saw a sight luvly to behold. This sight fit to take a man off his seat Cos it's one that is but for the bold! I have been oblivious of its presence Thinkin and gettin used to the anomalies That assault many a sense That to us,the sight is nothing but abnormalities! What did you see That makes you ramble and rumble As a restless sea? Shall you tell that which is making you tremble? I shall tell and sell Cos it's not meant for me alone. From afar, the sight greeting my eyes was a damsel Covered gracefully in a hijab looking but not alone! She was different from the crowd As the sun from the cloudy cloud She was hansomely beautiful Cos covered all over was she to the full! She is different from the naked And clothless ones who assault our eyes naked. They it is that are molested By men who the sight of them had tempted! But she is not,but she is respected, And shouts of 'Alhaja,Alhaja' Makes me know she is not to be suspected Of the evils committed near and far. The reason for her reverence By all and sundry I seek to know, The Hijab she wears is the essence That protects, guide and make evil men say No. So, friends this is the sight I think is nicely right For the ladies both near and far from us IF not like hers but something close thus! At least, They should upgrade their rags To cover and protect themselves from the beast That dwell in the soul of the man that sags! ?To my lady in the Hijab, I Will say mighty and high Surely is thy beauty, worth and ways That uncomparable is the sun and its rays! To my lady in the Hijab, I Will say mighty and high Surely is thy beauty, worth and ways That uncomparable is the sun and its rays! To you I pray Never let anything make you Drop your pridely covering and go gay Like the ladies in this worldly place do! You are pride and hope To those that look up to you Many a man will want you and is ready to cope And meet your demands if you say 'I do'! Oh GOD, my Lord! I Make a shout and plea to you To bless and preserve these one who use The Hijab and invite others to come onboard. And those that to the Hijab's use, they say I do. And not those who think it is but a ruse!
