The world is worth its weight in goldA
In the presence of this precious gemB
Of all things in the world to beholdA
This treasure is the prime of themB
-
I have swum to the depth of the seaC
And walked to the root of th' landD
But its semblance is no where to beC
Nor can favour like our egos demandD
-
Like a brass like a coral in the coastE
And at the core in the heart of the orbF
Amid diamonds it is precious the mostE
Of this for minds it is easy to absorbF
-
To God lies the charge of every affairG
But few of things can be found in oddH
Oh I can see why all things are in pairG
One not another is like a headless bodH
-
Women to men are made to be mateH
Women not men is like a hairless headH
Men not women is like an empty slateH
Who lives without other is a living deadH
-
Don't kill your girls like peeps of th' pastH
Don't hate your girls for what they areI
For not you know of the heirs to outlastH
Or who of them to make you superstarI
-
For marriage it is her right to agreeC
Not to be forced to marry any manJ
Nor should charge on her huge feeC
Nor mar for a right man her planJ
-
Take care treat and love her as a wifeK
Mahr is her right you must not denyL
Desist from what may cause a strifeK
Do not beat slap not even in the eyeL
-
She is your wife a partner not a maidH
Or who told you to you she is minorM
Nay but your second half and an aideH
So guide her and lead her to JannahL
-
Mere objects of sex Nay it is wrongN
And what man can do women also canL
Whether for a time short or even longN
Even better than any other manL
-
Deny her not of a right to the wealthO
Left for her from the riches of her paP
Fear Allah so don't devour by stealthO
For the End is near it is no more afarI
-
Half a share makes her no half a manL
This is the order enforced by the LordH
As can be seen in His Book the Qur'anL
So with the rules it is better to accordH
-
Women ranks are more than we thinkQ
Look to the past and pick up the factH
For from then till now there is a linkQ
To skew your guess and how you actH
-
Women are great in many facets of lifeK
Religion science and even in the tradeH
For a man to succeed behind is a wifeK
So honour and treat her as your aideH
-
Study Khadijah Aishah and MariamR
And see how charming were their rolesS
How useful their model how premiumT
To the rank of the women as a wholeU
-
As a mother at her feet your successV
Treat kindly and adore her to your bestH
By her delight your Jannah an accessV
It is the fact so do not take as a jestH
-
Women are salt that make life sweetH
Mother wife sister daughter or queenL
And as tools that make man completeH
And even the helpers in terms of deenL
