The mountain, whose long shadow never tired of sheltering the weary, has departed.
The mountain has laid down its heavy burdens and taken its rest.
The mountain has departed!
My father’s lifelong companion, his tears heavy with memories of his brother.
The mountain has departed!
Who mended the fractures of my father’s, uncles’, and aunt’s partings.
The mountain has departed!
Devoted to his family, steadfast to his friends and neighbors.
The mountain has departed!
With his majesty, his calm, his dignity, his patience, and his surrender to destiny.
The mountain has departed!
Whose silent words were ever:
"However griefs may weigh upon you, O mortal,
Stand firm in trust of Allah, He never forgets a soul.
In His remembrance, our hearts find peace untold."
O my uncle!
You, whose little was much, and whose much left no trace behind:
I pray Allah shades you beneath His shade on the Day when there is no shade but His.
Until we meet again—stay as beautiful as usual.
