Train of Ramadan

Only once within a year,
this train resumes its journey,
its doors are widely opened for those,
who is eager to board on its brilliant lights,
in search of redemption
a salvation

Only once within a year,
This train travels for a whole month,
To greet a believer or non believer,
To bring its passenger into the gate,
heading towards open shimmering sea,
of love and mercy,
To cleanse off the souls,
Cast away all mischief and past sins,

the train will take its passenger to a better place,
A place where the streets are lit at night,
and swept up at least five times a day,
where the poor and the needy,
are being given what they need without asking,
where there is no difference,
between a stranger and a friend,
where Justice reigns,
and love provides the warmth in every heart

O, waste not this fortune
Seek nowhere else,
Board on this train in haste
as it comes to bid you welcome,
seize this opportunity,
before regret comes too late,
