My Hijab is my Pride | حجابي افتخاري | The Harmony Band | Official Music Video
Lyrics by Rami Treiki
Composed and Arranged by Karim Massaad
Performed by The Harmony Band
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 corn for female – So you cannot claim it takes away their elegance
Ні! It has not – Instead, it has increased their grace
O who you blame me – Put an end to your cries 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
