The world, the sky and the stars
Await the precious, the purest
And the Holy Ramadan Crescent;
Oh! Crescent they can’t await
Your arrival,
For those who reflect!
Once again you have risen
And shone in the sky;
Right before my eyes,
You are just stunning!
Your timeless beauty and wisdom
Are overwhelming!
My heart and soul fill
With goodness and hope —
An opportunity to change myself,
To flourish and nourish my soul;
Patience, gratitude, forgiveness, empathy
And obedience to develop —
The time is to seek forgiveness
Weep and repent.
Since you departed
My life hasn’t been the same and perfect;
My soul seemed empty and lost,
Failed to connect closely with my Lord.
The Lord has prescribed
This Holy month for fasting,
We fast from dawn to dusk;
Fasting is a form of worship–
And a way to feel
The less fortunate’s hardship–
Through this month
The Holy moon Crescent
Pours its mercy and blessings
Upon us–
So Oh Crescent!
We greet you and welcome you
And you are Ours–
For those who believe.
