Alwida Maahe Ramzaan (Farewell O Month of Ramadan)
Alwida Alwida Alwida hai
Maahe Ramzaan bas Alwida hai
Farewell Farewell Farewell to you O holy month of Ramadaan
***
Din tere aane se motabar they
Noor main dube Shaam-o-Sahar they
Tere jaane se dil ro raha hai
Maahe Ramzaan bas Alwida hai
Â
Your arrival had made the day very beautiful
Days and night were submerged in blissful light
Your departure has saddened our hearts
Farewell to you O holy month of Ramadaan
***
Sehri aftaar phir at taravi
Aur azaanein namazein wa tasbi
Yeh samaa Noori tujh se mila hai
Maahe Ramzaan bas Alwida hai
Â
Pre-fast meal, breaking of the fast and then the Tarawih prayers,
And call for prayers, Prayers and TasbeeÂ
We received this blissful ambience from you
Farewell to you O holy month of Ramadaan
***
Rehmaton ka tu paigham laya
Barkaton ka tu in’aam laya
Rutba aala wa afzal tera hai
Mahe Ramzaan bas Alwida hai
Â
You brought the message of Mercy
You brought the award of blessings
Your Stature is grandest
Farewell to you O holy month of Ramadaan
***
Jaam rehmat ke tu ne pilaye
Gul muradon ke tu ne khilaye
Tu juda hum se ab ho raha hai
Mahe Ramzaan bas Alwida hai
Â
You provided drinks of Mercy
you made the flowers of desires bloom
You are departing from all of us O holy month of Ramadaan
Farewell to you O holy month of Ramadan
***
Hum ko bhi kal tu paye ga tab tak
Gar rahe zinda agle baras tak
Phir milenge jo Hukm-e-Khuda hai
Mahe Ramzan bas Alwida hai
Â
You will find us awaiting your arrival
If we are alive till the next yearÂ
We will meet again if this is the wish of Almighty Allah
Farewell to you O holy month of Ramadan
***
Chal diya hai tu jo rab ki jaanib
Ahle imaan ke pur nam hai taalib
Qalb-e-Ishrat bhi gham se bhara hai
Mahe Ramzaan bas Alwida hai
Â
You started your journey back to Allah Almighty
And we are seekers of faith
My heart is also full of sorrow and gloom
Farewell to you O holy month of Ramadan
***
Alwida Alwida Alwida hai
Mahe Ramzaan bas Alwida hai
(Farewell Farewell Farewell to you O holy month of Ramadaan)

Laylatul-Qadr (The Night of Power)
Bismillahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem
Assalatu Wa’assalamu ‘Alaika Ya Rasool Allah
Wa ‘alaa Aalika Wa as-haabika Ya Habeeb Allah
In the last part of the Holy Month of Ramadan, a night comes which is known as “Lailatul Qadrâ€. We are supposed to search this night in the last part of Ramadan by praying, reciting the Holy Quran and by remembering Allah (The Most Exalted). In this night we get a lot of benefits on our good deeds and all our prayers get fulfilled. The description of this night is present in the Holy Quran in Surah Al-Qadr, Surah No.97, Part 30.
The prayer in this night has more importance than the prayers of 1000 months. The Angel Gabriel and other angels come on earth with lots of blessing and mercy from Allah (The Most Exalted) and shake hands with those who are praying. Â
Surah Al-QadrÂ
Bismillahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
Innaa anzalnaahu fii Laylatil Qadr. Â
Wa maa adraaka maa Laylatul Qadr? Â
Laylatul-Qadri khayrum-min alfi Shahr. Â
Tanazzalul-malaa-ikatu war-Ruuhu fiihaa bi-idhni Rabbihim-min-kulli amr. Â
Salaamun Hiya hattaa matla-‘il-Fajr!Â
Translation
 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Power.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is!
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees.
(That night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn.
