Dear friend,

Here is a poem for you, a poem written by Al Khansa (May Allah be pleased with her) for her brother.

"Lament for a Brother"

What have we done to you death
that you treat us so, with always another catch
one day a warrior
the next a head of state
charmed by the loyal
you choose the best
iniquitous, unequalling death
I would not complain
if you were just
but you take the worthy
leaving fools for us.

-Al Khansa
