My veil

In de naam van Allah, de meest Barmhartige de meest Genadevolle,

My veil is a reflection of Divine beauty, I told the world

This woman gives herself only to the Merciful Lord...

My veil is the manifestation of my closeness to God alone

Islam is the place to which I have confidentally flown...

My veil remembers me about the inner beauty God has given me

Keeping my physical beauty apart from society, is what makes me truly free...

My veil remembers the world that I am a worthy human being

Ignorning the expectations of social media to which the West is kneeling...

My veil makes the voice of a woman against justice stronger

It's a spiritual promise that I hold with the Lord, and that makes me calmer...

My veil is not a veil over my personality or intellect

In contrast, it is only a limitation for others so that thay may see true humanity...

My veil, it is that what you see, flying as powerfull flag in the air

Proudly with my religion, walking in the university, it is something you maybe can't bear...

My veil is the promise I kept with Fatima, I will hold on, fair

For the unjustice Mohammed experienced, I will only shed a tear...

My veil is the symbol through which the Prophet of Islam has risen my status

Through the ink of the pen and the strength of the tongue, I am making society nervous....

My veil, my veil, it is the true recognition of a woman in all aspects of life

Hold my hand, Oh Zainab, and train me how to strive....
