This blessed month, do not let it slip away

Mercy is showered every moment by Allah in this

Every act of goodness is rewarded seventy times in this

Even Iblis is captured by my Lord in this month

Ramadan has come, O heedless ones, now leave negligence

It is in Ramadan that my Lord revealed the Quran

Guidance provided through it has reformed countless souls

You too can find guidance in it, do not just decorate your homes

Ramadan has come, O heedless ones, now leave negligence

In this month lies the value of the one who is greatly rewarded

Whoever nurtures it, life becomes successful

Attain it in every circumstance, do not let it slip away

Ramadan has come, O heedless ones, now leave negligence

Curses be upon the one who did not attain the forgiveness of Ahmad and Jibril

Ramadan was found, yet did not seek forgiveness for oneself

Maintain your fast, protect yourself from curses

Ramadan has come, O heedless ones, now leave negligence

This blessed month, do not let it slip away.
