Aadila at Sundown

by Ananthan K P, Aadila Yasmin M 

After the toil of the hot day,
Ramadan,
as the weary afternoon withers,
like a light evening breeze you come to me,
Aadila,
like a cool spring,
like iftar at sundown after the evening prayers.
You come to me as the sweet,
soul-nourishing food.
And the desert echoes your song
of milk and dates.
You fill me
with love, Aadila,
you fill me with the sweetness of a prayer.
