To Dr.Afia Siddiqui
A Glorious Dawn…And A Better Day
Another dawn …another day, Disgrace; insult is thrown our way; Yet shamelessly on their golden perch The spineless look – Oh how they sway! As if there is no Lord above, They with the devil-hand in glove; Selling our dearest values and souls, For gold and power – push and shove! This crime you saw they so denied, To filthy scum they sold the bride; Yet the mighty Creator seeing it all Unveils the gruesome act they hide! Amongst ravenous wolves the fair one lies, As from brutish hands she helplessly flies; A suffering sister sane no more, Her anguished screams – they rent the skies. And this is all the pride you boast, Our tormentors you daily host ! But yesterday we shared the cup, - And today so far apart we coast ? When comes a ‘Qasim’ to stem this rot? Of Almighty Allah and His Messenger forgot! Of cheaply selling our heritage which - With submission and sacrifice was dearly bought. And yet the strong will go their way, As an ‘Iftikhar’ keep the monsters at bay; Afia! Our elders pray, while the braver fight - For a glorious dawn…….. and a better day! |
