Aafia-O-Aafia

Aafia O Aafia

What is your destiny

I do not understand

A Muslim woman you are

A mother, daughter, sister too

Your kids embrace you so miss

Your mother sister brother too

Aafia O Aafia

What is your destiny I do not understand

Education was your passion

Helping poor and needy too

Quran was your true love

Humanity and humility too

Aafia O Aafia

What is your destiny I do not understand

Tortured mercilessly you were

Stripped and abused too

A victim of the war on terror

Open and Secret brutality too

Aafia O Aafia

What is your destiny, I do not understand

An icon of innocence

Determination and purity too

A woman so Nobel

A hero and nations pride too

Aafia O Aafia

What is your destiny, I do not understand

But this I surely know

Like Mandela, innocent you are too

If you are a terrorist

So is every humanitarian activist too.

Aafia O Aafia

What is your destiny?

I do not understand!
