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....
