This poem was written by Muhammad Aiman Azlan, a first year University of Toronto Mississauga student, born and raised in Malaysia. An international student who operates under the pen name "Ibnuazlan", this mysterious poet is pursuing a potential degree in Biology or Biotechnology.

Surrounded by aliens I'm all alone,
My sight can't rest on the same spot,
I only wish somebody was home,
To be my shade in this town so hot.
It's not a cloth but jewelery,
Maybe cheap but priceless in value,
Brightly lit your true beauty,
Protecting others, not only you.

Among all others you stand out,
It's easy to see a light in the dark,
I can hear clearly your silent shout,
"I'm a Muslim, in actions and heart"

Driving on this long winding road,
It looks straight when you take the wheel,
I know that I can take this load,
Because your hijab is my precious shield.
