Poetry from Dilurabonu Vayisova

Central Asian woman with straight black  hair and brown eyes wears a gray striped jacket and a white turtleneck and a necklace and holds up a certificate, with her classmates in the background.
Welcome to the month of Ramadan!

You came joyfully, bright-eyed,
Saying prayers, chanting words.
Grudges leave the heart,
Welcome to the month of Ramadan!

This month is full of rewards,
Good intentions, good deeds.
All anger recedes,
Welcome to the month of Ramadan!

The table is overflowing, give thanks
Give thanks for clear mornings.
My country is peaceful, give thanks to freedom,
Welcome to the month of Ramadan!

There are months apart from each other,
But you are the sultan of these months, Ramadan.
We are waiting for you all year long,
Welcome to the month of Ramadan!
