Ramadan
Mubarak!
By Noor Syed
A blessed month is casting its shadow
upon us
A night of this month is better than a thousand
months
Bear with patience for the sake of Ar-Rahman
It’s a continuous training to strengthen
our Imaan
Glory be to Allah who sent Ramadan
as a mercy to mankind
I’ts a purification of our soul, our heart,
and our mind
With the most sincere devotion and love we fast
To be cleansed and free from sins of the past
Glorified is He, who choseth this
holy month,
To test our sabr and fill our hearts with warmth
Of his Divine Light, His blessings shall glow,
The Seer of the unseen, all He does know
Ya Allah! For thee, let my breath
be more pleasant than musk
Ya Allah! For thee, let me be thankful when day
turns to dusk
My thoughts and heart are purified,
my eyes truly see...
This blessed month, the month of spiritual rhapsody!
Ya Allah! For thee, my life
I shall live!
Ya Allah! For thee, my soul I shall give!
In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, the most
Kind,
Praise be to Allah, who sent Ramadan as a gift
to mankind
