On the wings of my prayers, she returns home to you, 

Let a shining star be born to guide her way to you, 

Her smile, her words, her soft touch yet strong,  the happiness that touched my heart -no words can ever say it - and her kindness to all she leaves behind makes her a woman of substance.

I am poor and lonely without her, and the world she leaves behind is empty.

Go in peace, have a safe journey, and pray for now.

Someday, surely, we shall meet again, but farewell for now.

- Khadija Mohammad
