in the tranquil night's embrace
the full moon shines with grace
celebrating the arrival of a sacred time
ramadan, imbued with meaning sublime
every moment becomes precious
in prostration, I reflect with earnestness
seeking forgiveness and divine light
before the most compassionate in my sight
fasting transcends mere hunger's hold
it's a journey for the soul, manifold
to distance oneself from all that's wrong
and nurture virtues that make us strong
each breath becomes a chant of praise
reminding of His majestic ways
with every step towards what's right
ramadan guides me through the darkest night
at iftar, gratitude fills my core
for blessings granted, I adore
charity flows endlessly, a blessed stream
spreading love and kindness, a radiant gleam
ramadan, oh month so revered
you're not just about hunger cleared
but about pondering life's truest call
discovering bliss in surrendering all
in every stride, I come to see
life's essence isn't just worldly glee
but preparation for the afterlife's quest
ramadan, you guide me to what's best
