I Welcome You, Oh the Sacred Month of Ramadan!
(From my book 'Voice of Heart)
By Dr Mustafa Kamal Sherwani
Lucknow, India
With new sprouts of faith emerging in my barren heart,
With the Unseen showing the blaze of my Final Goal,
With a blissful blend of belief, joy and fear,
With a Divine aura overpowering my mind and soul,
I welcome you, Oh the sacred month of Ramadhan!
Your name brings forth a flurry of soothing throbs,
From which countless hopes of salvation arise;
Your name comes to the rescue of my worries and shame;
It seems to blow the breezes of the gardens of Paradise .
I welcome you, Oh the sacred month of Ramadan !
May your advent shower on this trembling world,
The heavenly serenity, lasting peace and moral grace;
May the first glimpse of your moon on the globe’s horizon,
Dissipate the dark and threatening clouds from its face.
I welcome you, Oh the sacred month of Ramadan!
