RAMADAN

Like a lost camel, sad and weary,
I don’t understand how time is passing.
A mysterious cry roars within my heart—
The holy Ramadan is slipping away.

So many sins, countless and easy.
Saying “forgive me, God” is so simple.
Some are careless, some are joyful,
The holy Ramadan is slipping away.

One says, “Faith lives in my heart,”
Another walks the path of injustice.
Have we still not understood even now?
The holy Ramadan is slipping away.
