In hijabs and niqabs
The Buibui donned with pride
And henna painted palms
In gowns and taqiyas
And beards combed out
A kaleidoscope
Of love, sharing and faith
A congregation of mu’mins
Children playing on the streets
Boisterous greetings of the men
Coy giggles and whispers among women
It is Idd again
Culmination of thirty days fast
Reminiscing of a near past
A celebration
A reflection
A marking of change in heart
A difference in path
It is the end of compulsory fast
But the beginning of personal quest
May you all find the treasure you seek
For today,
Revel in the feast
Eid-ul-fitr
Al-Muslimeen
