ramadhan is here

[Suhail]

One night I heard a knock on my door;

Who can it be,I wasn't quite sure.

I open the door and am filled with glee;

The visitor ahead is no stranger to me.

I welcome the guest with utmost delight;

For I know it has come to give me respite.

An air of happiness fills the space;

My home now seems, a better place!

Have you any clue who this visitor could be?

Yes!its Ramadhan,the month of mercy.

The pious and righteous can't await its arrival;

Others seem to greet it, with waves of denial.

For Allah(SWT) we fast from dawn to dusk;

For Him our breath is the fragrance of musk.

The muslims who pray and fast with zest;

Are aware of the rewards of this month manifest.

Throughout this month we weep and repent;

Now is the time to strongly lament.

And those who shun this sacred month;

on the Day of Reckoning will face the brunt.

In the last ten nights,hides the Night of Decree;

Allah(SWT) then awaits for his slaves to plea.

The angels descend with Gabriel(AS) in the lead;

To check on the steadfast and record every deed.

A feeling of grief now fills my heart;

As the month of Ramadhan will soon depart.

So lets make a start and worship Him alone;

Now that the worth of this month is known.
