SEIZE THE MOMENT! 

As hands and feet lift from the ground, 

The Sun wraps Night in its golden shroud. 

In Ramadan, secrets are found, 

As Laylat al-Qadr shines,

Moon-bowed… Seize the moment!

Live it bright! 

Let moments merge in sacred light! 

Verses stream in luminous flow, 

To hearts that love, in whispers low… 

As you strive, defeating desire, 

You rise beyond, your soul so higher. 

Angels murmur in hushed refrain, 

You dissolve into the cosmic plane… 

Blessed be Laylat al-Qadr, my Friend, 

Blessed the night where hearts ascend!

 Every gift from the Divine, so bright, 

Is the crown upon our heads—pure light!
