Abah

On that cool October afternoon

Grey clouds blanket the blue sky

In that sterile somber room we croon

Teary eyed lullaby

Another Ramadhan comes to an end

Is this your last goodbye?

100 years more, if I can recommend

Even though time I cannot buy

Sad doesn’t begin to describe your passing

A man so full of life

When tomorrow we should rejoice in His blessing

Only if today you can survive

That which has robbed you from us

Tissues that are cancerous

Though it seems ridicules

That this could happen to us

When you prescribe those that are medical

To every man woman and local

In those well equipped hospitals

Yet those silent killers are lethal

To you everyone else

Is first, and you last

And you cannot care less

If your time has past

You were a good son to your mother

A splendid husband and a great father

And what we most remember

You are a true leader

As you ebb away in passing

The sky cried tears of rain

May Allah gives His blessing

For those deeds during your reign

As your only son can only pray

That you wait for him in heaven

and before that you would stay

slumbered serenely until awaken
