Struggling, striving, desperate to break out of the cocoon
Then desperately flapping wings, each flap strengthening them
Making them stronger and stronger, until it becomes a butterfly,
Beautiful, free, and takes flight
Fasting, endurance, struggle for a better aim
Purification, cleansing from ugly temptations
Each sincere fast increasing spiritual strength
Emerging from the month more beautiful
Let’s continue to fly towards our nourisher, sustainer,
The one who transforms, gives shape, beautifies, purifies
