The Veil Has Fallen
By Imran Ahmed
The Veil Of Beauty Once A Shield
Has Faded In The Name Of Fashion
Now Darkness Stains The Faces Bare
Their Lost Light A Silent Confession
Sisters Dance Before Their Brothers
Daughters Paint Their Lips In Vain
Seeking Glances Meant For Shame
As Purity Drowns In A World Profane
The Hungry Eyes Of Strangers Lurk
Hunting Souls Still Wrapped In Light
Teachers Whisper Sins In Halls
While Power Preys Without A Fight
Money Rips The Scarves Away
From Mothers Daughters Honored Wives
Fathers Trade Their Girls For Gold
Blind To The Ruin In Their Lives
Tiktok Screens And Vloggers Views
Auction Modesty For Fleeting Fame
They Sell Their Honor To The World
Forgetting The Weight Of Their Name
Oh Allah Save Us From This Storm
This Trial That Burns Our Souls To Dust
Let Us Die With Faith Unshaken
With Hearts That Never Betray Your Trust.
