"Traditional"
I will
"Puritanical"
climb out
"Sufi"
Of every box
"Salafi"
Tear off
"Deobandi"
Every label
"Wahhabi"
They care to put on me.
Instead I choose,
"Muslim"
A higher path,
"Mu'min"
Instead I seek,
"Muhsin"
To be,
"Sincere"
To the message
"Loyal"
To the Messenger
"Humble"
Towards Him
"Gracious"
To you and
"True"
To me
So when
"Dear friend"
And if
"Beloved sister"
Our paths cross
"Respected brother"
If and when,
"Kind neighbour"
We meet
Look at me,
With eyes
Untainted
Clear and
Fresh.
For then
You might
Actually
See "me".
