To My Dear Father

You are everything I have in this world,
My pride, my patience, my honor unfurled.
My shield, my strength, my greatest treasure,
My dear father, whose love knows no measure.

You have endured so much pain in this life,
Yet faced it all with courage, without strife.
You gave your strength and soul for your children,
My dear father, whose love has never weakened.

You raised us with care, never letting us ache,
With patience, each difficult day you would take.
You showed us the world, took us far and wide,
My dear father, always there by our side.

With your advice, you gave us love and light,
A love so magical, pure and bright.
May you always live surrounded by your children’s affection,

My dear father, whose love is beyond perfection.

To My Dear Father

With my tiny hands raised in prayer,
I ask Allah for your life to spare.
May my prayers reach the heavens above,
For all I wish is your long life, my beloved father.

What have you not seen in this bright world?
How much pain, how many hardships unfurled?
With patience, step by step, you carried on,
And finally, the days we dreamed of have come.

Never say, my dear father, that you are less,
Never bow your head to those who bring distress.
Look upon the world with kindness and care, dear father,
For with you, this bright world blossoms fair.
