حجابي افتخاري ~ وتاجُ الوقارِ
فلو عشتُ ألفًا ~ سيبقى اختياري
لماذا؟ لِحُبّي ~ وَطَوعي لِرَبّي
فَصِدقُ المُحِبِّ ~ بِحُسنِ ائتمارِ

إلٰهي حَباني ~ بديني أماني
ضِيًا في زمانِ ~ بِهِ الوَأْدُ ساري
فَمِنْ جَوْرِ حُمْقِ ~ حَمى كُلَّ حَقّي
وأوصى بِرِفْقِ ~ بِنا لا ضِرارِ

يا غارقًا بِشَقا ~ دَعْ قَفْوَ مَنْ حمِقَ
هذا الحجابُ بِهِ ~ دَربُ النِّسا ائتَلَقَ
تاجُ الأنوثةِ ذا ~ أَقُلْتَ قد سَرَقَ
منها الأناقةَ..؟! لا ~ بَلْ زادَها أَلَقَا

أَيا لائِمي لا ~ تَزِدنا عَويلا
فَلا لَنْ أميلَ ~ حِجابي قراري
فما حَدَّ عِلْما ~ وشُغلًا وَفَهْما
بَلِ العيشُ أسمى ~ بِهِ يا مُماري

حَضَارَةُ طٰهَ ~ سَمَتْ ما عَلاها
سُمُوًّا سِواها ~ كشمسِ النّهارِ
فَلَوْ قَلَّ فيها ~ غدًا سالكوها
ألا فاقتفوها ~ لِنَيلِ الفخارِ

ما بالُ قَلبكِ يا ~ أُختاهُ قد غَرِقَ
إبليسُ ضلَّلَهُ ~ وَتَاجَهُ زَلَقَ
أغراكِ كَيْ تَطَئي العِصيانَ بَعدَ تُقى
"حُرِّيَّةٌ وَعُلًا..؟!" ~ بَلْ ذي دُروبُ شَقا

My Ḥijāb is my pride - A crown of dignity

Even if I lived beyond a thousand years - It shall remain my choice

Why? Due to my love - and obedience to my Lord

The truthfulness of the lover - manifests through righteous obedience

My Lord granted me safety - through my religion

He granted illumination - in a time of great calamities

He protected my rights - from injustice

He instructed that we be treated - with kindness, not harm

O you who are drowning in misguidance - abandon the path of foolishness

By this Ḥajāb - The paths of women radiate

This is the crown for females - So you cannot claim it takes away their elegance

No! It has not - Instead, it has increased their grace

O who you blame me - Put an end to your cries of of misguidance

I shall never part with it - My Ḥijāb is my personal decision

It has not diminished my knowledge, - Profession or understanding

My life gains more honour - With it, O evil-doer!

The civilisation brought forth by Ṭāhā - Surpasses all other [invalid] civilisations

It is higher [than others] in rank - Like the midday sun

Even if those who follow it - Decrease tomorrow

You ought to follow it - To attain honour

O sister, what is the matter - Has your heart been drowned?

Iblīs led it to misguidance - And made you take off the Ḥijāb

He deceived you - And made you fall into sin, after piety

Claiming that it is freedom and dignity - Rather it is the path of deviance
