It was the 10th of March,
a sad day –
Sad news shattered my home.
Too soon you had departed, my dear.
With dignity you dwell in our minds.
A friend like you is hard to find.
Together we acquired knowledge
In Denham and Dar us Salam, our alma mater.
You excelled in language and
literature,
Created social drama of a different kind,
Unearthed social facts that
matured.
Social reality-signalled vigilance in future.
On our maiden journey to
Gurutalawa
We accompanied you on
Your first teaching mission.
Chose your partner from Galhinna,
Oh soft-hearted soul.
Admired your hospitality and
generosity.
Henceforth we cannot enjoy
your affection
And affinity.
Teacher, writer, narrator and
orator par excellence.
Wherever you went, you gained prominence.
We remember you in our
daily prayers.
May Almighty Allah give you Jennathul Firdouz.
My pen laments, it moves no more.
Oh, our Nakib is no more.
