Even though we all come from different feilds of Arabia
And we all understand that Hijab is a privilege and an honor
What some of you may not be aware of .. is that our Sacred Hijab is known to be a shame worn on top of a girls head .. Some societies consider Hijab as a mean of opression
+++
A "Gal Pal" of mine Applied for a university away from Kuwait in the summer and got accepted .. She became a Hijabi at the end of the summer and right before she went abroad to study , Surprise surprise .. She came back home and told me that she was not allowed to wear a scarf on her head in a so-called liberated country
+++
To her , I give a shout , and to myself - Being a Hijabi- and to each and every father , brother And a husband , Raising their sons or siblings the pure traditions of Islam .. to all the Hijabis out there I say

What goes through your mind
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me
My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care
So don’t you see
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity...
My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see...
“Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
And all I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?
For you I sing this song
My sister, may you always be strong
From you I’ve learnt so much
How you suffer so much
Yet you forgive those who laugh at you
You walk with no fear
Through the insults you hear
Your wish so sincere
That they’d understand you
But before you walk away
This time you turn and say
But don’t you see
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity...
My modesty
My integrity
So let me be
She says with a smile
I’m the one who’s free
