An Inspired Poem: 'Ramadan'

 

O Allah! 

Your poor servants have come 

to inquire about Your favours. 

May they inherit Paradise 

by virtue of the blessings of fasting.

That they may have the honour 

of gazing at You in Paradise, 

thus soothing their aching hearts.




May You forgive us all our sins 

through the blessings of Taraawih

May You thus keep the Ummah of Muhammad (pbuh) 

under Your protection.


Have mercy on us, 

O the One filled with mercy. 

Soften our hearts 

with the blessings of fasting.


It is certainly the most glorious month 

among all other months, 

the month in which 

Allah revealed the Holy Book (Qur'an).


O Allah! 

By the benefits of the reading of the Qur'an

Protect the believers 

against daily misfortunes.


Grant the will to all Muslims 

to observe fasting in the holy month.


O Allah! 

Grant us the benefits 

of the glorious night of Qadr 

And make the torments of the grave less atrocious upon us.


You are the One 

who hides the sins of others 

And You are also the Greatest Forgiver 

while we are sinners 

full of shortcomings. [Ameen].


It is You who provides for everyone's needs 

Because it is You who controls the existence of all creation.


Remove our hearts from evil deeds 

And grant us Your forgiveness out of love for Nabi (pbuh).


When You measure my good and bad deeds 

on the Day of Judgment,

May You cover up my sins 

so that others cannot humiliate me.


O Allah! 

Out of love for Your revered Prophet (pbuh), 

May You grant the supplications 

of these repentant sinners.
