Girl, you’re beautiful!
“Dil ka parda* is more important”, they say;
Do not let their judgements sway
Your resolve and your faith,
For good comes to those who wait
This world is not the real deal,
Don’t let it from your conscience, steal
When it guides you to what is right;
There’s more to strength than physical might.
This covering up is really hard,
While society continuously whispers, “discard!”
Tell them it’s not for them to decide,
Allah is your Companion, your Guide.
They say, “you’re beautiful, can’t you see?”
But what of humility and modesty?
There’s more to beauty than what meets the eye,
That is a fact which no one can deny!
* an Urdu phrase – when literally translated means “veil of the heart” but actually refers to the concept of modesty being in the heart. It’s a phrase often used to say that it’s more important to be modest in your heart than covering yourself outwardly.

JazakAllah Khair. I am touched that the poem has inspired you in any way. May Allah (SWT) help you and make it easy for you. Ameen. Additionally, if you’re based in Islamabad/Rawalpindi, there is an event which will also serve as a great deal of inspiration where Hijab is concerned. https://www.facebook.com/events/372885136087096/ for details. :) And I managed to skim through your blog, looks pretty impressive. Looking forward to exploring it further, inshaAllah.
