You travelled for eleven months
But it felt like eleven years
Then you reappeared…
Like the morning sun
I embraced your presence
And I found tranquility
I basked in your essence
And I found serenity
With you, my heart found peace
In you, my soul found purity
Please don’t leave me again
Can we do this over again?
This honeymoon…
can we have it every month?
Oh! Allaah, please make me firm
Don’t let me betray…
Let me maintain this state of rebirth
Until next year,
when Ramadan returns
Oh! Ramadan, ma’a salaamah!
See you next year, in shaa Allaah.
