Ihya Ramadhan 3: Ramadhan Moon

Oh the people are coming and going;
getting ready to-ing dan fro-ing
there’s a buzz in the world tonight;
people are so excited
Daddy’s coming home soon;
hoping to see the moon
Hoping to catch a sight;
everyone’s so happy

Moon, moon, come out soon
We’re out to see the Ramadhan Moon
Clouds shift; fog lift!
City put put out your lights
We want to see the Ramadhan Moon - tonight

Now Ramadhan has started;
and the Moon has just been sighted
Tomorrow we all fast - every Muslim must
Now ‘Esha’ time is here;
and it’s time to leave for prayer
The Imam is in the mosque;
the Quran is in his heart

Moon, moon, moon,
From the early break of dawn
we’ll go the whole day long
Shops are full of dates
but still we have to wait
Till the sun goes down,
and it’s time to break our siyyam,
The food is on the plate
ohh! It tastes so good!

Now Granddad’s in I’tiqaf; only ten days are left
He’s praying every night; dressed all in white
Hands held high; with tears in his eye
Asking for forgiveness; and Paradise

Moon, moon, moon, Ramadhan Moon
Now its time again for Eid;
Ramadhan ran with speed
Will it come again? Like an old friend?
Ramadhan Moon
