(dedicated to Mr. Ruerd Visser, apoet friend at poemhunter)
life shall be glad with surprises
wake up where the sun never sinks
with each shrub of romantic fragrance
I lift up my eyes to the Summer moonlight
in health and strength
by reason of your well-being
will you leave me alone in these darker days?
in presence of which one feels oneself inspired
to Friesland, with all pure hopes
I am as one dwelling in a garden
your love and care have penetrated
all within my heart and soul, dear brother
Ahmad Shiddiqi
