1. I wrote to the one I love seeking a visit
He replied, "Is it not the month of Ramadan?"

2. I answered, my heart pounding with passion
"Do you fast from kindness and doing good?"

3. Fast if you wish from meeting out of shyness
Of revealing the love that rages within

4. Or don't - come see me while dark covers all
And count it a day gone by in Sha'ban
