Co-education?

Today I’m going to be blunt

No sugar-coated words

No matter how much

They seem to be absurd

Sometimes a bad deed prevails

Prevails to such an extent

What was once considered evil

Turns to be the most popular trend

Let’s speak against

The greatest fitnah aboard

We call it co-education

A double-edged sword

Yes, men and women stand equal

But they are not the same

And if you argue against it

I find your logic lame

Different natures we have

We’re tamed on separate grounds

Girls, they’re delicate creatures

Boys, by discipline they’re bound

Men and women are different

With diff sets of responsibilities

You can simply not merge

Two opposite mentalities

I do not speak against

The noble concept of education

We’re aware of the fact that ilm

Is Momin’s best-kept possession

Girls, they require tender teachers

Who are soft and gentle like them

One should teach according to

Everyone’s cerebrums and brainstems

Boys are wild creatures

Let ‘em mess with swords n sports

Feed them alongside with knowledge

To maintain the future’s hope

The lads and the lasses

Different hormones they release

When they hit puberty

And grow into teens

This is an important phase

To nurture and shape their minds

For these minds will control

The Ummah’s future times

Mehrams are the only relations

Which are lawful to us

But co-ed works against this

And modesty, it thrusts

At the most golden period of history

Let’s take a look back

When Muslims were truly Muslims

Walking on the right track

Prophet SAW taught Muslims

Men and women alike

He SAW allotted separate days for both

For lighting their brains bright

Our ancestors we take pride on

The Umayyads, the Abassids

The Mughals, the great al-Andalas

They were all on modesty’s side

If we really are well-wishers

To our society’s moral traits

We must nip off co-ed’s evilness

And better this Ummah’s fate
