niqaabis be stepping up
we're the ones standing proud
you can stare, but I'm just gonna say, Man Wassup?
You can't see my face
you can hear my voice,
you'll come to know me faster at this way and pace
I'm who i am, what's in my looks?
Hear me out, put aside the books
to you we're just women, maids and cooks
I have a mind, A thought to voice
This veil you see, it's my choice
I'm not oppressed
I fought to get this right
you think I'm prisoned and depressed
I love for this deen
Lower your gaze
safegaurd your eyes
I say what I mean
Standing as Mujahideen
My face you don't need to see
My beauty saved
For someone a path paved
A treasure hidden from this world
Like I said, My face you don't need to see
My voice says enough about me
Voicing my thoughts
Don't judge me, connect the dots
I've said enough, get a clue
I bet you never knew.
I'm veiled
Intellectually preveild... Revealed

I wear my hijab for Allah,
Not for my father
Not for my husband
Not for my brother
Not for any other
Than Allah

I cover myself for Allah,
No one makes me
No one forsakes me
No one rejects me
No one subjects me
But Allah

My modesty is for Allah,
Commanded in Qu'ran
For Him and no one else
Seeking His reward
Moving closer toward Allah
