Eid ul-Fitr

a Poem

By Deepak Sarkar

 Al-Jazeerah, October 27, 2006

 

(Dedicated to all who have been suffering from 21^st Century crusades against humanity)

The fasting comes to an end

After thirty long days

Re-enforcing base’s fourth pillar

Experiencing the climax of Ramadan

On the night of power

The dawn calls to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr!

Embracing each other saying ‘Eid Mubarak’!

 

Eid is the time for brotherhood and unity

Establishing peace through forgiveness and mercy

Overcoming all fear with passion and feelings

Thanking God Almighty for all blessings!

 

Let the fast end all evil Ignorant-Hostility

Spreading the message of moral victory!

Reminding Jihad is purifying mind-body

Joyous celebration of the achievement of enhanced piety!
