PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am thirsty but will not take

Soft drinks or water clean and neat



I am hungry but would not have

A dish of rice or bread of wheat



I am no more interested in

Butter, cheese, eggs or salty meat



Though savory, I'll never taste

Salad of cabbage, carrot, beet



By my Lord have been prohibited

Foods piquant, delicious and sweet



Tasty, juicy and luscious fruits

Till my Lord permits, I don't eat



Of neither vice nor temptation

I can acknowledge the receipt



A blissful state of self-control

My heart does have in every beat



For a month only these abstentions

Can save me from hell's fire and heat



A drill of discipline, devotion

Every Ramazan I have to repeat



How can I fall prey to Satan

With his foul trick and vicious feat



Submission of my self to Lord

Causes me to go into retreat



His Mercy would encircle me

When my God Almighty I meet



By the grace of God in Paradise

I hope that I will take my seat



Pledge of my Lord is a big reward

Of lasting peace, luxurious treat
