Faith

A Muslim Woman

She conceals her beauty

Obstructs the radiance from seeping through

Cloaks her seductivity

Refuses to submit to the wordly desires

Preserves her attractiveness and charm

Protects the diamond within

She is left savorless

Banal

Insipid

Vapid

Yet she remains veiled.

She is ridiculed by prejudice

Mocked by displayed beauty

Taunted by the devil.

It shatters her patience

Lowers her self esteem

But only for a split of a second.

She remains veiled.

Its strange

Incomprehensible

Yet marvellous

It's faith.
