You heeded the call
To fast and pray
To feel the pain
Of the hungry and frail
And like good lambs
You have crossed the sea
Happy Eid
Barka de Salah
II
You are a warrior
For battling hunger
And reigning supreme
For battling thirst
And sailing its sails
For working for honour
And bridging the bridge
Like a fire fighter
You are the conquerors
Happy Eid
Barka de Salah
III
Barka de Salah
Happy Eid
You show you’re worthy
You need a cheer
Trust your instincts
To have all fair
Allah is the blessing
Which we all hold dear
So barka de Salah
Happy Eid
May time vehicle us to another year
In piety until we embrace another very tight
And mark the crossings of the Holy Month
