Farewell Ramadan

Dr Shehzad Saleem English

The lips are dry

Risks are high

Stomach is empty

Hunger is plenty

Energy is gone

Reserves are on

Desires are strong

Some are wrong

Abstinence the goal

To nourish the soul

Self advancement

Moral enhancement

Fasting achieves

Lost souls retrieves

In this plan enrol

Gain self control

And patience too

Will come to you

Blessings divine

Pure and fine

Will embrace you

Through n through

Routines are reset

For the very best

But alas for now

We have to bow

To bid farewell

And ring the bell

With a heavy sigh

Ramadan goodbye
