Ramadan Kareem



The month is near upon us,

when we come alive. 


For what we can do then, 

we can do, in no other. 


Despite our words being, fewer,

And our time less our own. 


Something stirs our spirits,

Our efforts redoubled, anew. 


Mammoth events, await

So let not sabr be the first to depart 


For when the pangs of hunger, bite,

Or things go skew and out of plan 


Sit down, be calm,

Remember 


For remembering only profits 

The one who yields to God’s words. 


And the greatest of that is the Quran

A solace to our hearts 


An embroidery to our minds

A blessing to all those who hear. 


Shafees 

1st version APRIL 2020, no less true.
