As day gives way to night, the call is heard

The fast is broken with a simple date

The faithful gather, words of thanks conferred

For sustenance, a blessing, a fate

With open hearts and tables full of food

The bonds of friendship and of faith grow strong

The simple act of eating, nothing crude

A moment cherished, not a moment long

The Iftar brings together young and old

The rich and poor, the stranger and the friend

For in this meal, no one is left cold

And love and kindness always find an end

So let us break our fast with joy and grace

And welcome all to share in this embrace.
