Eid ul Fitr



Eid Mubarak to all of my friends,
Old and New,
No matter where you might be. 

In the deepest dungeon,
On a high cliff,
Sandwiched between two walls of despair. 

Surrounded by love and company 
Smothered, not knowing that you had wings 
Our hearts go out to you 

May Allah t’ala accept your every effort 
Rekindle your fire
Wake you from the mire 

Redouble your efforts 
Dust off your coat 
Prepare, 

For even when plans go amiss 
It’s the preparation that enables you
To move and act 

Victory is yours for the taking 
Do not be humble 
Until it shines on your face. 

And Ramadan is just that 
A preparation before 
The act.

20th March 2026
Every year is like the first year 
An anniversary of sorts
