O Burqa/Hijab-clad woman
What a slap it is on my face
Cursed be my eyes
From which you want to hide
How you fear the male gaze
And we males have given you
Good reason to so fear
So, go about in this world
Howsoever you want
As per you whims and fancies
For, I, too, want
That same freedom
To do as per my whims and fancies
As long as I don't step
On my fellow citizen's toes.
