My Precious Jewel


I grow up with this covering over my head
They told me it's a command of my Creator
I begin to wonder its purpose, what is it for?
Why? Why? Why? Come the question
Little did I know until I began to know it's purpose
Then I realize that my Hijab is but my precious jewel.

This clothing over my head brings me honour
I'm respected by people and held in high regard
In every occasion my words counts
Any time I walk, I'm filled with light
My Hijab, my honour.

Each time there is trouble, I get left out
On many occasions I have been saved from chaos
Men keep a distance due to respect
With my Hijab, I become brave and face obstacles
And once again I was saved from their plot
My Hijab, my protection

Call it local, I don't care
Some never know what it worth, so they become the ignorant
Some did but never care, they just choose to ignore
I know I'm not outdated 'coz it's in vogue
My Hijab, my civilization

With this piece of clothing I'm always at alert
I become aware of what is right
I know I don't want to be known with something bad
Never did I fail to remember my manners
It symbolizes my chastity and dignity
My Hijab, my portrait

Who will I be if I refuse His command?
What will I become without my Hijab?
How will I cope without this piece of clothing?
No! I cannot but keep it with me
I love to have it on and on forever
That's -My Hijab, My Precious Jewel.

The World of A Reader

I have entered into the world of knowledge, The spirit of the learning took me in, My soul buried in the words of wisdom, And all that surrounded me are but books. I have sailed the seven seas, Climbed the tallest mountain and hill, Survived the sunny days and cold nights, I was a knight in shining armour, a fighter. I have been to Atlantic Ocean and back, Visited the Queen of England, A bride found with shinny glass shoe, I was a princess, a traveller and a royal adviser. I have been to the animal kingdom, With king Simba, I ruled the forest, A fury best friend to Pocchantas, I was a cute bunny, a sidekick and a dove. I have contributed a lot to the society, Help to develop a cure to save the prince, Invented a time traveling machine, I was a major, a doctor and a scientist. Oh! I wish this never ends, But alas, the last page snapped me back to reality, Where I've gone and what I've done is nothing but an illusion, I hope another will bring more

Illusion

Image
I saw you walk up to me like an angel. Your smile lightened up my world full of darkness. You opened my eyes to wonderful view of the moonlight. And you brought me into your world of ecstatic dreams. At every step I took you were there, Close were you to guide my baby steps. With your sweet words and gentle looks, You get your way and melted my ice cold heart. Oh! I pray this day never ends as I closed my eyes, But you left me with no assurance, When I woke up, you were never there. Now I realize it was all a dream, an illusion.

A Question of My Love

Image
It was under the moonlight he walked up to me, A question of my love was what he slowly whispered. Like a rejected soul, I turned away, As the tear of sorrow came over my face. My love so true but yet concealed. What will I say to He who stole my heart? No words could describe how I feel with him. At night I could see his heart through the sky. From the moonlight I can see his messages with a smile. What will I tell the one who plans his future with mine? If the whole world were flower, he would pluck it for me. At the sound of his name, my heart skips a beat. What can I say to the one I think about all day? For the one I love, I wish the best. Till I rest, my love will never die. I won't fail his test, but wish me the best. Like his shadow I'll be with him forever, And he will have no place for another.
