"O Mind, at the End of that Ramadan Fast Came the Joyous Eid" (ও মন রমজানের ঐ রোজার শেষে এলো খুশির ঈদ) is a Bengali Eid-ul-Fitr song. It was written by Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh. The song was written and composed at the request of Nazrul's disciple, Abbasuddin Ahmed in 1931.
It is a very common tune heard in Bengali Muslim households around the world. It has been covered by many artists around the world. The song is written on the end of the period of fasting and the Islamic holiday of Eid-ul-Fitr. This was regarded by his contemporaries as a significant achievement, as Bengali Muslims had been strongly averse to devotional music.

O mind, at the end of that Ramadan fast came the joyous Eid.
Give yourself away today, listen to the heavenly exhortation.
Your gold-beads, bracelets, all the way to Lillah,
Give zakat, awaken the Muslim today,
O mind, at the end of that Ramadan fast came the joyous Eid.
Today I shall read Eid prayers, o mind, in that Eidgah,
The ground on which all Ghazi Muslims have been martyred.
O mind, at the end of that Ramadan fast came the joyous Eid.
Forget the actions of friend or foe, but shake their hands,
With your love, the world's a disciple of worldwide Islam.
O mind, at the end of that Ramadan fast came the joyous Eid.
Those who are full of life, fasting, constantly fasting,
Give to the poor orphan miskin, whatever is beneficial,
O mind, at the end of that Ramadan fast came the joyous Eid.
Give yourself away today, listen to the heavenly exhortation.
Pour the sweetness of Tauhid in the saucer of the heart,
The honourable shall accept your invitation, as I hope.
O mind, at the end of that Ramadan fast came the joyous Eid.
Those who threw bricks and stones at you all their lives,
Build a mosque of love with those stones.
O mind, at the end of that Ramadan fast came the joyous Eid.
Give yourself away today, listen to the heavenly exhortation.
