The meal is eaten before the sun rises, and before the fajr or dawn prayer. Suhoor as the morning meal is matched by Iftar as the evening meal, during Ramadan, replacing the traditional three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), although in some places dinner is also consumed after Iftar later during the night. Being the only meal eaten by Muslims from dawn to sunset during the month of Ramadan, Suhoor typically tends to be heavy and is highly regarded by Islamic traditions to avoid crankiness or weakness caused by the fast. Some people also suggest not going right back to sleep after suhoor. Pray the morning prayer fajr

Jamil mazhar

Be by my side against the worldly wrongs

cause I am ready to fight the world

though not actively against worshipping

refute I bowing low at every door step

burn down dwellings for conceited whims

my reason for nevermore nesting here

noone speaks upso what i am against

cities growing up on moribund forests

not for a reason i stay morose

someone rendered unammused by my elated effusiveness

my life is confined to a far distant land

once i too was against living abroad

show not my beloved your true morbid self

i am against exposing you even to myself

page 35

Whether I get away or at home stay

what matters my giving in to lust of life

pride of love is lost in mortgaging

what matters togetherness or staying apart

either riverside is overflowing fire

what matters who crosses over the side

crushed for the love of you

what matters indebted to world

for life i have been living

what matters death to my life

sails are all set to sink in deep sea

what matters my crossing over on the sly

Gazal from page 161
Is there anyone who would soften rough life
someone sort out the dream of my life
thorns are seen on unending far distance
some one sweep them awya from my life
feeling clouds of sorrows overcasting
raing tears someone add smiles to my life
now my existence is illusive
someone prove my presence in my life
man y fling insults accusing me
tell me someone my involvement of crippling life
