Bereaved, br We got the news and believed. br That our daughters will be freed; br And Nafisat, too, one of them. br Joyed, back to my Quran, my creed br I rendered thanksgiving - solemn! br . br Though, br Nafisat, I know br Would have been assaulted br With knives on her neck lowered. br My daughter, my jewel; unclothed br For her buxomity - deflowered! br . br Deeply agonised, br Like a mad man, disorganised. br When the haramists, the abductors insisted br That no ceasefire was ever reached. br Alas! My Nafisat still caged and subjugated.
