Growing mostly in gardens Lush and green gardens When a rose grows in a desert It is of a special kind
Desert rose… Living through pain Still holding on for a possible gain In the hereafter Where she hears no evil talk Or even vain
Desert rose… Wearing her hijab like umm salamah Most times with the niqab Never cares who says what She wears it for Arrahman (the Most Merciful)
Desert rose… Always traveling with a Mahram If you ask her why? No drama She boldly tells you, the Rasul (Messenger) said so. Deny that and you face trauma
Desert rose… Marries for the Deen (Religion) Waiting for yaumud-deen (the Day of Resurrection) Where she reclines on green Sofas I mean
Desert rose… Her family and friends laugh at her She most times shed tears Because of the rahma (mercy) in her heart For them Allah’s wrath she fears
Desert rose… May your dreams come true May you be in the belly of a green bird Flying around Jannah (Paradise) May we meet in jannah To continue what we started here
Desert rose… She is not egocentric Always Mecca-centric Follows the Sunnah pure No matter whose ox is gored
Desert rose… When a rose grows in a desert It is a sign of Allah’s rahma Despite the harsh wind and dry oasis It blossoms with special radiance Nuff nuff respect, desert rose! You know who you are!
