Open Your Eyes to Yourself


Eid Mubarak to everyone!

The New Moon of Eid

New moon of Eid,
You cannot manage to evade
The eager view
Of people waiting for a sight of you.
A thousand glances have
Conspired to weave
A net to catch you in.
Open your eyes
To yourself. Do not grieve
That you are a bare outline.
Within you lies
A real full moon.

~ Allama Iqbal

  2. Thank you Robert for posting The new Moon Of Eid.It is a wonderful selection.
    I remember when as a child we used to look forward to see the moon.We were interested because if we saw it,it would mean the next day would be Eid and we would be able to wear our new clothes that were stitched for the occasion.My Dad and my older brothers would go for Eid prayer.It also meant my Dad would be back with a whole bunch of shiny coins that he would give us,this was our Eidy.It was a fun time for us.These are some of the nostalgic memories I have of Eid.
