Ramadhan is here
A blessed month
A month of patience
A month of confidence

Ramadhan is a month
When Muslims fast from dawn to dusk
Eat only before dawn and after dusk
Ramadhan is the month
When Muslims feel how the poor suffers
Without food and a dropp of water
Ramadhan is the month
To relax our tummies
After 11 months eating
Wow..........
Awesome Ramadhan
Blessed Ramadhan
Happy Ramadhan

The first 10 days
Hungry, thirsty...that's normal
But we must wait till the sun goes down
And it's time to break our siyyam
Don't forget the dates
The official fruit of Ramadhan
When we hear the calling Adhaan for Isyak
Get yourselves ready
Let's go to the mosque
Isyak and Tarawikh
How exciting
To meet and get new friends

The middle 10 days
Ramadhan is getting better
Muslims are gathering in the mosque
Can't wait to pray
Muslims are marvellous
How proud I am
To be one of them

The last 10 days
Very meaningful
Lailatul Qadr s gonna happen any time
in these 10 nights
Our wishes gonna be granted
After tarawikh
Everyone is in i'tikaf
Dressed all in white
Tonight is the time to seek forgiveness
From Allah the Almighty

Eid has arrived
Ramadhan goes by on the wings of a butterfly
Today is the day for us
To meet our family and seek forgiveness
Everyone is wearing new clothes during this reunion
Can't wait for the next Ramadhan and Eid
Hope we can still enjoy them

- SARAH ALLY -

A season of togetherness and care
A time to think of others welfare
A season to equate oneself as others
Time to remember unprivillaged in life
And a time to return to almighty.

Rising above your ego and self
High above the horizon on high
Deep to the loins of the earth
Where abode dwells the spirits of life
And a region where equality prevails

Just to the sound of brass
The strings of harp and guitars
The horns and flutes in the house tops
Are the joys and jubilation of this visit
Ramadhan at last, home to dwell

May the joys and peace of it
The love of togetherness and oneness
May the union of love dwell in
And the heart of fasting and prayer
Welcome Ramadhan, the blest visitor.

Ramadhan Karim.

STUDENTS, STUDY YOU MUST

Wake up and work
To let your destiny wake up
Read your book to keep up
Your high spirits and take up
The challenges knocking up
At the door of your dormant destiny.
Open this door, open up,
By riding on the horse for mutiny,
All set to search for oasis
By study, study and study,
In the desert of the endless lessons
As the clock ticks without passion!

Let the destiny not sleep
With books sleeping in the cupboard
Let opportunities not flee
And you make excuses like Mother Hubbard!
Let time not take you,
But you be the time taker,
Read to be a runner
Or the failure will take you!
