Goodbye Ramadan (Wada'a Wada'a Ya Ramadan)

By Jibril (Jibo) From Nigeria

Oh Ramadan, Oh Ramadan,
The pious seek you for days
The weak welcomes your days
And even the young at heart and bones count the days

Oh Ramadan, Oh Ramadan
Now that you have come and now that you are with us
We seek the blessings in you and now that you are with us
We double our noble deeds and now that you are with us

Oh Ramadan, Oh Ramadan
We enjoy the peace of your days and we enjoy the bliss with us
The first third are eager days
The second they call it meager days
And the third they say are the busy days
For the wise and the blessed ones
And for those that will forever be
And when the days are done
We cry in the heart for you
For the days are moving fast
As we are saying all goodbye
Not because we love to say
But because that’s what we must say
Oh Ramadan, Oh Ramadan
Oh Ramadan, Oh Ramadan

We say goodbye to you and we say it with Sit ‘ta Shawwal
Goodbye Ramadan,
Goodbye Ramadan!
