QAŞIDAH ON THE LUNAR AND SOLAR ECLIPSES The evil one violated the very fabric of his intellect, Until he, having become bewildered, diverged from his own position. The blissful one comes to harvest intelligence, While the slave of Satan disparages and impugns religion. We have passed through that matchless month of Ramadan, In which the lunar eclipse occurred alongside the solar eclipse. The moon is a night traveller, like a soft evening cloud; The sun a morning rider, cloaked in mist with dew drops trailing. This is a Sign from Allah, the Protector; To overwhelm those who deliberately forsake true guidance. So hasten to Him in congregations and individually, In a state of repentance, rushing to Divine Guidance. 343
