My Baby Girl

I have a daughter,

Although she’s not gonna like it

But to me she’ll always be my baby girl.

Funny to hear me keep saying : “Listen to whatever I said

Cause I’m your mommy and I know what’s good for you”

I used to hate it when my mom said something like that

But now I know that she was right.

She was a girl once, then she became a woman

No wonder she knows more than I do

She loves me so much and she always wanted me take the right path.

 

Now I look at her, my own daughter

I’ve always wanted to say,”Honey, it’s not easy to be a woman,

So much things that you have to  carry on,

So much pain you must take,

But still people wishes to always see you smile”.

I’m not gonna try to erase your pain

Cause pain will shape you, make you tough

But I’ll make sure that you’ll be strong enough

To face even the strongest hurricane in your life.

 

Little Najmi,

Once I knew you’re a girl

I insisted that I’d named you by myself,

Spending 3 days ,trying to find a beautiful sentence in the Holy Qur-an

Then my eyes stopped in one sentence in Surah Al-A’raf 54

Wannujuuma musakhkharaatin bi amriHi

“and so the stars, they revolve with the will of Him (Allah)”

Najmi Sakhara Amrillah,

I hope you always remember that your name means something

No matter how far you’ll have travelled,

You’re still my star and Allah with His Knowledge

Will always guide you
