    Ramadan Moon

    As-salamu alaykum
    Wa alaykum salam
    Hey, where are you up to?
    What’s the rush?
    I’m going up to hill to see the Ramadan Moon!
    Ha, will you see it happening tonight? Will you see it tonight?
    Yeah, yeah. I think so.
    Can we come with you?
    Yeah, sure! Come along!
    Okay!

    Oh the people are coming and going
    Getting ready, to-ing and 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 off to see the Ramadan Moon
    Clouds shift fog lift!
    City put out your lights
    We want to see
    the Ramadan Moon
    tonight!

    Look, look, look, look
    I can see it!
    Oh Wow!
    So can I!
    Tomorrow we’re going to fast!

    Now Ramadan 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 Qur’an is in his heart

    Moon, Moon, come out soon!
    We’re off to see the Ramadan Moon
    Clouds shift fog lift!
    City put out your lights
    We want to see
    the Ramadan Moon
    tonight!

    I’m going to the mosque
    Come with me!
    Okay!
    Come on!

    Ramadan 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
    Ooh! It tastes so good!

    Moon, Moon, come out soon!
    We’re off to see the Ramadan Moon
    Clouds shift fog lift!
    City put out your lights
    We want to see
    the Ramadan Moon
    tonight!

    Where’s Granddad?
    I don’t know!

    Ramadan Moon

    I think he’s going to the mosque
    last ten days
    I’m going to miss him
    we’ll see him when he comes out

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

    Moon, Moon, come out soon!
    We’re off to see the Ramadan Moon
    Clouds shift fog lift!
    City put out your lights
    We want to see
    the Ramadan Moon
    tonight!

    Did you see the moon last night?
    No, why?
    It’s the moon of Shawwal
    That means it’s Eid tomorrow!
    Eid Mubarak!
    Eid Mubarak!
    See you tomorrow for Eid
    Insha’Allah

    Now it’s time again for Eid
    Ramadan ran with speed
    Will it come again?
    Like an old friend?

    Ramadan Moon

    Like an old friend?
