her hijab is beautiful

her hair is covered, her head held high,

standing tall with beauty and grace.

she knows she is stronger than they think,

see the light that shines from her face.

the silk cloth placed on her head signifies peace,

it serves as reminder to behave with dignity.

through the act of modesty, she finds ultimate serenity.

she is not oppressed, unintelligent or unworthy,

she is powerful, liberated and free.

not just a piece of clothing but a way of life,

teaches her to remain humble, to be just and to be kind.

this girl is empowered, she is tougher than they see.

“i will not let my hijab define how they treat me!”

refuses to surrender to society’s norms on ordinary life,

she believes her view on religion doesn’t change what’s inside.

full of passion, full of intelligence, she is brave, she is bright.

look into her eyes and her mind and you will find,

a queen, her thoughts sparkle like silver and gold,

they contain an astounding brilliance waiting to unfold.

her faith in God remains strong, it’s only Him she really needs.

when you look at how she’s presented, you’ll understand what i mean.

her hijab is a constant symbol of courage, piety and tranquillity.

know that it isn’t there to impress a misogynistic man,

not an act of terror, nor one of subjugation, that you need to ban.

she refuses to let them win, she won’t go down without a fight,

they must understand that covering her head is a God given right!

she is a woman of resilience, a woman of might,

her heart is so warm, so pure and with good intentions.

she strives for the best, patiently takes her test,

has time for her Lord, has time for prayer and reflection.

so, remember this next time you think wrongly.

she wears a hijab for herself and she wears it beautifully.
