The Season Of Change

When maybe neither I… nor you are here.

To disrupt this beauty would be ever unwise,  With our human faults, sins and lies
How perfect if we were to harmonize,  With the rest of nature when Ramadan arrives!
It trades perfumes of forgiveness if you repent from vice  And sweetness of faith for restrained eyes.
A breath better than the smell of musk,  For fasting sincerely from dawn to dusk
It gifts robes of respect for honesty,  And jewels of Jannah for a little in charity.
For constant glorification of Allah,  A face that shines brighter than the stars!
It reveals the treasures of Paradise  To those who pray in its blessed nights.
Its most special gift is the Night of Power  With immense reward in its every hour.  If you can sacrifice your sleep,  To stand through this one night and weep  Allah promises to forgive all your sins 
If you beg for forgiveness and surrender to Him.  Full of forgiveness, mercy and wealth, 
Blessings, happiness and health,  Ramadan changes, Ramadan revives 
Our rushing yet meaningless lives.  Ramadan closes the gates of Hell  And shows us the Paradise where we could dwell,  But this Beloved is soon going away,  With the end of a mere 30 days… 
To come back after almost a year,
 
When maybe neither I… nor you are here.
