Now creeps in our cravings and greed
And our brains say, “Feed, Feed, Feed”
Now fasting is gone
We ‘re not allowed to eat when the sun shone
The battle is now won,
But it was not who came out victorious in the war
It is the won whose heart was pure
In the morning, those can snore
And on Eid have fun and food galore.
To most of people it’s about shoes and fancy things
But for them hope has wings
Hopefully they get the right means
We’ll give to the poor and those who need
Without showing any greed.
That’s the true spirit of Eid!
