God set an example to fast,
And penance for better heart;
It’s the best way for reparation,
In order not to gain any separation.

Is it not must for sins committed?
A sinner who is repented;
Must, on fast days, be abstemious,
Keeping away, the dish, sumptuous.

There are other ways and means,
Allowing not seeing obscene scenes;
Not to hit out at neighbour with tongue,
Let His Words and deeds ever to be sung.

Over come sin by prayer and silence,
Practicing obstinate resistance;
Him shall all contemplate,
Shaking the deeds that are passionate.
