Poem: Some Advice To Each Muslimah Who's About To Be A Second Wife

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 To each lady who's about to be a second wife, 
Who agreed to a man's proposal as she admires 
How he strives to be righteous, responsible and kind, 
And though she sees that he's married, she knows from inside 
That having him as her spouse adds blessings to her life: 
~•~
Don't feel guilty of saying yes. No need to think twice 
If the man you'll marry already has a good wife, 
While you're aware that she's fine, as she humbly complies 
With Allah's Laws, and she confirms that's her husband's right 
To remarry and double the joys of marriage life. 
~•~
Before the Waleemah your intention purify. 
Eagerness to be closer to Allah should be why 
You're willing to welcome polygynous marriage life, 
Not to break families, force him to leave his first wife, 
Not to seize his wealth nor cause any marital strife.
~•~
Regard your husband's first wife as a friend who inspires 
You to keep loving your spouse, with patience day and night, 
Like readers sharing a book that's precious and worthwhile, 
And they're careful not to cause damage, tears at the sides, 
And if there are stains, both would fix or apologize.
~•~
Since you're wed to a human who errs once in a while, 
Remember to assist him, guide, remind and advise. 
Be strong enough to forgive each other, empathize, 
And encourage him to never neglect his first wife. 
Aspire to ensure your love life leads to Paradise.
~•~
