My Hijab

MY HIJAB This is me! My beauty you see, Not...A sign of oppression, But straight up aggression. For what I believe, This life is for me. To please my Lord. For this is my Sword. To fight against the rest. This way is the best, Of all...The kinds of dress. Yea!! I’m impressed. Give me respect! You have to accept. For you have no choice, ‘cause you’ve heard the voice, Of Silence...Is the way I come, Not trying to please anyone. From my Lord is the Blessin’, To you a lesson, To learn...About this deen. Islam you see, Is what HE chose! So don’t stare at my clothes! Covered from head to toe, What’s underneath can’t be bought or sold For a price...You’ll have to pay for not covering this way. MY HIJAB. {Nadahla Amatullah © NDJ 08/20/97}
