By Dr. Bilal Ahmad Bhat & Family
Under the moon’s soft golden light,
A blessed night shines pure and bright.
A time of joy, a time to share,
With hearts so full, beyond compare.
The crescent smiles upon the land,
A sign of mercy, grace so grand.
Through fasting, patience, love, and prayer,
We find Allah’s endless care.
The dawn arrives with voices high,
Echoing “Takbir” to the sky.
A day of peace, a day of grace,
Where love unites the human race.
O family dear, O friends so true,
This day of light, I share with you.
From distant lands to homes so near,
We spread our warmth, our love sincere.
Selamat Hari Raya, voices sing,
A melody of blessings ring.
Forgiveness given, bonds made new,
A sacred time for me and you.
Tables set with dishes bright,
Sweets and feasts, a joyful sight.
Lemang, ketupat, rendang too,
A festive spread in golden hue.
Children laugh and dance with glee,
With duit raya, smiles run free.
Hand in hand, the old and young,
Together strong, together one.
Oh Allah, hear our humble plea,
Bless this day for all to see.
Guide our hearts, keep us true,
In faith, in love, in all we do.
Selamat Hari Raya, my friends so dear,
May peace and joy shine bright this year.
From my family, my soul, my heart,
May Allah’s blessings never depart.
Eid Mubarak!
