A Dark Ramadan

What a ramadan?
Veils everywhere
Still am damned
Time purity steers 

Laced with pain;
Is my eye
How i be so stain;
I better die

 Hope fly by all men
I only see din
Covered in darkness
Encamped agony, distress

A burden i carry;
My shoulder sour.
My heart tarry;
For my agony tall 

Allah come save me!
This pain is beyond me!
Where do my hope seem?
Ramadan made it dim 

Ramadan saves;
What of mine?
I hunger slave
To get the divine
SAVE me!
O Allah!
