Ramadan, what a soul-reviving month it is; the marks of subtle grace shine clearly through it. Why does everyone wear the pale color of recovery, if not because Ramadan drives away the most dangerous diseases?
Explanation: The 'pale color of recovery' refers to the faces of those fasting, likened to convalescents healing from sickness, here a healing of both body and spirit.

ماه رمضان عجب مه روح‌فزاست آثار لطایف اندرین مه پیداست
رنگ همه چون رنگ نقاهت ز چه روست گر نه رمضان مزیل امراض خطاست!
