We are the Light: No. 2

I am tired of the darkness of this veil,

Tired of the story of ‘Bibi-Hawa’ and Adam,

One of my own kind, who should have been by my side,

I am tired of the sting of your mother's words.

Cover myself, even if it means with thousands of pieces of black,

I am tired of the hateful words in the streets and alleys.

One grabs another's breath for the sake of virginity's curtain,

I am tired of the shameful customs and traditions.

You say, if she wears the veil, she is a Muslim?

I am tired of the weakness of your beliefs and your conviction.
