The Blessed Month

By Sarosh Mohna Zaidi of Mississauga, Ontario

As clouds give way to that crescented moon.  

The heart is overjoyed; it's pretty sight 

Then overwhelming every sight of noon.  

To all believers, this whole month is blessed; 

The non-believing feel no change at all.  

Just as the one who is never addressed 

Compared to being addressed at every call.  

Allah is now addressing us to him; 

Are we prepared to heed his call once more?  

Are we prepared to fast till lights are dim?  

Throughout this blessing can we find the cure?  

Let us adhere to what Allah commands; 

With endless blessings, let us fill our hands
