Why do you race towards defilement and disgrace?
Honoured humiliation is such a bitter taste
Sacrilegious liberation forces you to strip down
Because they told you, you aren't free until you've slept around
So you discard your noble hijab and cast off your crown
So unworthy eyes can fantasise, while your honour and dignity shrivels on the ground
They whispered sweet nothings and stole what cannot he retrieved
Thus a lofty regret is conceived
Can what is fleeting surpass that which is eternal?
Is temporary pleasure worth residency in the infernal?
