Little Poets
A Time for Peace
Ramadan, the month of fasting
The arrival of glad tidings
Purify the wealth, thus acquired, by remitting
A share to the needy, as God is oft-forgiving
Fasting is like a shield
Abstains from sin and quarreling
Cheerfulness this month yields
Enables a peaceful life in every being
Makes a person hospitable
By taking away the quality of greed
In Lailathul Qadr, the Night of Power
Sent Qur’an, the glorious, as guide to mankind
Can attain self-control and intellectual power
By knowing the existence of one kind
Let us unite in group
To share the pleasure of fasting
With utmost dignity and hope
To complete peacefully the fasting
