Farewell, My Father

"Farewell, My Father"
- Syed Sohail Ahmed

My father was a noble tree 
With great character for all to see 
A heart full of mercy and empathy 
His words sincere, his judgments justly

He was my guide in obeying our Lord 
His advice was a treasure I adored 
In my father, I saw nothing but love 
A love so strong, sent from above

Among people, he was respected and revered 
His knowledge was vast, his speech so clear 
In many tongues, he spoke with ease 
And in writing, he could always please

God's promise for the righteous is true 
And our Prophet's words, a message anew
He who dies in love of the Prophet's kin 
Dies as Witnessed, with forgiveness from Him

Glory to You, oh God, our Lord Divine 
Forgive us our sins, and let us shine.
