May you gain the spiritual rewards
Of fasting and prayers today
May you win the pleasure of God
And He blesses you in many ways
May you observe the Holy fast
And exercise endurance and steadfastness
And may all your prayers be accepted
And you achieve love, peace and cheer
May your heart be filled with warmth
Devotion, worship and good deeds
May you tread along the pathway
Of righteousness to spread virtue's seed
And may all your sins be forgiven
With special blessings of the Lord
And may He bestows upon you
His special blessings as reward
May you gain love and closeness to God
That enlightens your heart and soul
And your sprirituality guides your way
And wipes away all your tears and dole.
