Departure!

Abstract

The hitherto uncompensated departure of my father to the eternal world is the
most irreparable loss I have ever faced in my life. I shed tears and tears in
bereavement. This ocean of tears resulted into nothing, but patience and cognizance of
divine decisions. I kept on combating with myself and tried my best to accept the
ultimate natural phenomenon of death. Praise is verily to Allah Who enabled me to vent
my emotions in the form of the poem followed by tears streaming down from my cheeks.
His sweet memories persistently flashed back in a nostalgic tone. Eventually, I felt that I
can live with the asset of those sweet memories. Now, I often see him stretching his
hand out in supplication and praying to Allah for forgiveness. With my inward eyes, I
can still visualize his smile, his presence, his jokes, and his unflinching faith in Allah.
Above all, I can feel his laborious effort which gave us the treasure of ethics and social
values.
