Celebrate! The month of

fasting has come.

Pleasant journey to the one



Who is the company of the fasting.

I climbed the roof to see the Moon,



Because I really missed fasting

By heart and soul.



I lost my hat while looking at the Moon.

the Sultan of fasting made me drunk.



O Muslims, I have been drunk

since that day I lost my mind.



What a beautiful fortune fasting has.

What a wonderful glory.



There is another secret moon

Besides this one.



He is hiding in the tent of fasting

Like a Turk.



Anyone who comes

To the harvest of fasting in this month



Finds the way to this Moon.

Whoever makes his face



Resemble pale satin

Wears the silk clothes of fasting.



Prayers will be accepted in this month.

Sighs of the one fasting pierce the sky.



The person who sits patiently

At the bottom of fasting’s well



Owns the love of Egypt, like Joseph.

O the word which eats the Sahur meal,



Be silent so that anyone

Who knows fasting will enjoy fasting.



Come, O Shams (sun), the brave one of whom Tabriz is proud.

You are the commander of fasting’s soldiers.
