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 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
