Sharing this moving verse by Umar Shakur. It really spoke to my heart.
Farewell dear Ramadan
The month of fasting and Qur’an
Hearts in hope of acceptance
Turning ever to Him in repentance
And though the world burns with ire
We seek relief in He Who does not tire
Noor is born of istiqama
Dispelling darkness of human drama
The month of fasting and Qur’an
A lifetime of worship in thirty days
This is the miracle of our Ramadan
Eid we celebrate, yet alas, our world ablaze
In a world lit with ire
We seek Prophetic courage
To stand firm in the heat of fire
Be unyielding to injustice, his message
He who follows with constancy
Will find light against any exigency
