1. أما الصيام فقد عظّمت حرمته

    بقلب لا غافلٍ عنه ولا وانِ

    As for fasting, you have indeed revered its sanctity,

    With a heart neither heedless of it nor lax.

  2. صوماً وصوناً فلا لغوٌ ولا رفثٌ

    فرضاً ونفلاً وترتيلاً لِقرآنِ

    Through fasting and self-restraint—neither idle talk nor lewdness—

    Through obligatory and voluntary devotion, and measured recitation of the Qur’an.
