 Dekho maahe Ramzan ke kya khoob nazaare hain
Jaago ke sahr waale mushtaaq tumhaare hain

Behold the beauty of the month of Ramadan!

Wake up, for they long for you: the pious people of dawn

***

 Mushtaaq malaaik hain Muslim ki ziyarat ke
Rizwaan bhi sha’iq hai darwazeh pe jannat ke
Hooron ki nigahoon main pur kaif ishaare hain
Dekho maahe Ramzan ke kya khoob nazaare hain

The angels long for the vision of the Muslim

Waiting anxiously at Heaven’s door is its guard Rizwaan

The maidens of heaven make joyful gestures with their gaze

Behold the beauty of the month of Ramadan!

***

Pehle se kahin zyada lazzat hai ibadat main
Sajdon main halawat hai pur kaif tilawat hai
Firdos-e-nazar har dam Quran ke sipare hain
Dekho maahe Ramzan ke kya khoob nazaare hain

 So much more pleasure in the worship of our Lord

Prostration is sweet and joyous the recitation of Quran

The chapters of the Holy Quran always reminding us of Paradise

Behold the beauty of the month of Ramadan!

*** 

Ikraam ki baarish hai millat ki fiza’on par
Anwaar machalte hain Muslim ki adaaon par
Udhte hue har jaanib rehmat ke ghubaare hain
Dekho maahe Ramzan ke kya khoob nazaare hain

 The rain of generosity falls on the canopy of the Ummah

Blessings desirous to descend upon the Muslim, pleased with their actions

The clouds of mercy float around in every direction

Behold the beauty of the month of Ramadan!

***

Jazbaat-e-ata’at par aasaar-e-javani hai
Bulbul ki zabaan par bhi naghmat-e-Qurani hai
Phir shola figan dil main mazhab ke sharare hain
Dekho maahe Ramzan ke kya khoob nazaare hain

 The passion of obedience is at the full spring of youth

On the tongue of the nightingale is also the song of the Quran

Again the spark of religion kindles in our hearts

Behold the beauty of the month of Ramadan!

***

Ash’aar hain Mazhar ke sa’em ke jagaane ko
Kafi hai yeh do naghme ek hashr uthane ko
Ikhlaas ke do sajde bakhshish ke sahare hain
Dekho maahe Ramzan ke kya khoob nazaare hain
 

The poem of Mazhar is to wake up the fasting person

These two verses are enough to succeed at Hashr [Day of Judgment]

Two prostrations of sincerity are enough for salvation

Behold the beauty of the month of Ramadan!
