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!
