They say, "Oh, poor girl, you're so beautiful you know
It's a shame that you cover up your beauty so."
She just smiles and graciously responds reassuringly:

"This 'beauty' that I have is just a simple part of me.
This body that I have, no stranger has the right to see.
These long clothes, this shawl I wear, ensure my modesty.
Faith is more essential than fashion, wouldn't you agree?"

This Hijab:
This mark of piety -
Is an act of faith, a symbol -
For all the world to see
A simple cloth, to preserve her dignity
So, lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity

They tell her, "Girl, don't you know this is the West and you are free?
You don't need to be oppressed, ashamed of your femininity."
She just shakes her head and she speaks so assuredly:

"See the bill-boards and the magazines that line the check-out isles - With their phoney painted faces and their air-brushed smiles?
Well, their sheer clothes and low-cut gowns - they are really not for me
You call it freedom, and I call it anarchy."

This Hijab:
This mark of piety -
Is an act of faith, a symbol -
For all the world to see
A simple cloth, to preserve her dignity
So, lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity

Lift the veil from your heart to see the heart of purity
Lift the veil from your heart and seek the heart of purity
