They say, “Oh Girl! You’re so beautiful you know!
It's a shame that you cover up your beauty so!”
She just smiles and graciously responds reassuringly,
“This beauty that I have is just a simple part of me.
This body that I have no stranger has the right to see.
These long clothes, the shawl I wear ensure my modesty.
Faith is more essential than fashion wouldn't you agree?
This hijab, it is a mark of piety!
It is an act of faith a symbol for all the world to see.”
Some simple clothing to preserve her dignity!
So lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity!
They tell her, “Girl! Don't you know this is the West and you are free?
You don't need to be oppressed, ashamed of your femininity!”
She just shakes her head and she speaks so assuredly,
“See the billboards and the magazines that line the checkout isles, with their phony painted faces and their air brushed smiles?
Well their sheer clothes and low cut gowns, they really aren't enough for me.
You call it freedom and I call it anarchy!
And this hijab, this mark of piety, it is an act of faith, a symbol, for all the world to see.”
Some simple clothing to preserve her dignity! So lift the veil from your
heart to see the heart of purity. Lift the veil from your heart, and
seek the heart of purity!
