– 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
Oh! 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

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?

Ramadan Moon
