What is beauty

What does beauty mean to you

Is it a pair of long, slim legs

Wavy hair and arms like pegs

Does beauty lie in a winning smile

Void of anything physically vile

*

Let me tell you what it means to me

The beauty of a person, the true muslimeen

*

Beauty is lips engaged in dhikr

Beauty is eyes, warm and pure

Beauty is a heart that truly repents

Beauty lies in the strength of the mind

Kindness of the heart and gentleness of touch

*

True beauty is something that never fades

Unlike the physical that rots with age

Beauty lies under the skin within the soul

Of every living being.
