Elegy for my brother



 Inna lillaahi wa innaa ilaihi raaji'uun

Allaahummaghfir lahu warham hu wa’aafi hii wa’fu anhu

You are no longer in pain, my brother

You have found peace, no more suffering

Reunited with the Creator above

Forgive me, my dear sibling, for being absent

In these last days, I failed to stay connected

Inna lillaahi wa innaa ilaihi raaji'uun

To Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return

My condolences for the loss of your beloved brother

He has found tranquility in the other realm

Resting in an unnamed tombstone

Lying between your parents who went before

Allow me to capture this moment with my lens

In this photograph, the memories will be preserved

A tribute to the bond shared with your brother dear

A visual reminder of the love that bloomed

Even though he has departed, his spirit remains near

Let the picture freeze this moment in time

A snapshot of your brother's presence, sublime

May it bring solace and a sense of closure

As you cherish the memories forevermore

Oh Allah, forgive him and have mercy on his soul

Grant him healing and pardon his faults

Guide him to eternal happiness and peace

Saat Diam Adalah Obat

Ada saatnya diam lebih bijak, Saat tak mampu menghapus gelisah. Empati bukan sekadar kata, Tanpanya luka bisa merambah jiwa. Jangan bica...
