Each year, beneath the crescent moon's soft gleam,

Eid returns, like a long-cherished dream.

Not just a feast, but a timeless call,

To rise in love, and embrace all.

It brings the tale of sacrifice anew,

Of hearts sincere and souls so true.

A lesson carved in sacred light—

To share, to give, to do what's right.

In every home, in every land,

Hearts are joined, and hand meets hand.

A time to cleanse both soul and mind,

To leave all selfishness behind.

Divinity flows in morning prayer,

In humble acts and love we share.

The scent of faith, so pure and wide,

Wraps every spirit from side to side.

The poor, the rich, the young, the old,

Together stand, with hearts of gold.

No walls of pride, no hateful chain,

Just fellow-feelings that remain!
