A Few Words For Saleha Siddiqui

It’s easier to be distracted by others delusion

When our own gifts somehow remain an illusion

It’s not rocket science - Whenever we stand tall, we stand on the shoulders of giants

Forged in a fire of love inside you, such sacrifice outshines the stars and crescents

Sheeba’s blood pierces through our veins as an extension of Saleha’s essence

From Lucknow to Kitsilano - Kerrisdale to Toronto

A woman’s prayer sews the seeds of history leaves

Feel the firmness of the ground under you, the crisp air in your chest as she breathes

Paradise springs from beneath your feet and will continue through your daughters

Our love for you grows like an orchard which God himself waters

How an apple a day keeps the doctor away

A call to you puts our worries at bay
