Shabe barat, <br />a blessing night, <br />sweets prepared, <br />... skies lighten up, <br />colorful fireworks dazzling the skies, <br />streets illuminated by candles, <br />and strands of electric bulbs, <br />bright as day. <br />An experience of content, <br />harmony and delight, <br />a joyful ambiance. <br /> <br />The occasion, <br />to pay a visit to mosque, <br />pray to Allah(God) <br />to bless us all, <br />and rid us of sufferings. <br /> <br />May this peace and joy <br />fill the hearts of all you know; <br />filling empty places wherever they may go. <br />May the peace of shabe barat <br />shine around you. <br /> <br />Nation comes alive to enjoy the spirit, <br />new charms replace the old ones to protect us. <br />A time to reshape souls. <br />For God loves all, <br />turns his back on none, <br />good or twisted, ignorant or intelligent. <br />Shab E Barat is a night of forgiveness.<br /><br />Wida Tausif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shab-e-baraat-the-night-of-forgiveness-and-freedom/
