MY VEIL GOT STAINED.

A whirlwind has risen out of my assent
And I've stood, stunned
My breath mingled into another's breath
Speechless, I've stood
I won the world over, but I was defeated by myself
My power shattered, I've stood
I am the mirror and I am the reflection
Frenzied, intoxicated, I've stood.
The veil got stained; how am I to hide it?
The veil got stained
How am I to hide the stain on my veil, how am I to go home?
Shimmering, sparkling and glittering
The echo differs by day and by night
One zero zero, a huge deceit
Amidst the riches, a net of prayer
I fought and struggled with the state of my soul
I have stood, to be counted on
I am my shame; I am also my veil
I am the stain on the veil
My veil has become dirty
The veil that was as untouched as my body
Yes, having come, how will I look into Abba's eyes?
How am I to go home?, what will I say to Maa?
The veil got stained; how am I to hide it?
I am wretched and devastated; I am ruined and destroyed
I am simple, I am precious; I am very special
I am Dark and Fair, I am rippling sand
I am the incessant rain that won't start to pour down
A whirlwind night, I am a shining lamp
I have stood, dazed
A body made of glass, I am a shadow of my own self
I have been afraid only of myself
Singing in the firewood; my body somewhat covered by it.
The fire ceasing from time to time, I have burned on and on
I am an illusion, I am a shadow
I am the soul and the body
I have stood, stupefied
I have stood, to be counted on
The veil got stained and all I could do was watch.
I have stood here, there and everywhere.

Helllooooooooo somebody, nobody, everybody. Barka da war haka. Scratch that..... Hello everyone it's your girl Haphsertuh back with a new mind twisting plot. Something new😍 something different😍. Jirwaye! My first shot at writing hausa, yeah ofcourse you'll come across the use of lots of English words, irin sosai da sosai, that's why I tagged the book as an "Engausa".

I'm quite sure a handful of readers especially those on wattpad already know me that's because I'm a household name in the writing game. This isn't my first work but well, it's my first shot at hausa. I sincerely hope you all enjoy this story but the most important is for us all to to be educated, to learn great lessons from the story. My hausa isn't perfect, not even close to being perfect...... what do you expect of a girl brought up by a non hausa speaking mother, bad combo Huhh lol. Punchline line here is please feel free to slide into Haphsertuh's dm to rectify some errors which you might come across. Haters😐 keep your hate comments to yourself, Haphsertuh will highly appreciate that. Halal police, una wehdone, abeg you guys should also stay at arms length because some characters in this story won't portray the life of ideal northerners or of good practicing Muslims. Haphsertuh very well knows what's halal and what's haram. This is just a story which I hope will be inspiring. You'll enjoy reading Jirwaye, I promise. Toh mu shiga labari💃💃💃
