A Peaceful Farewell
Today we stand in silence near,
With hearts of love, with gentle tear.

Your memory forever in our mind.

And raise our hands in prayer instead.

We gather here with hearts that weep,
But trust Allah, His promise keep.
This world is fleeting, passing fast,
The soul moves on, its chains uncast.
We ask our Lord to grant you peace,
From every pain, a sweet release.
Forgive their sins, O Lord Most High,
And shade them where cool rivers lie.
The grave may hold, but not in vain,
For mercy flows, and love remains.
A prayer we whisper, soft and near,
Goodbye, dear soul, with hearts sincere.

This truth of life, we all must know.
The soul now flies beyond our sight,
Into the mercy, pure and bright.
No fear remains, no sorrow stays,
Allah is Kind in endless ways.
We ask for gardens, wide and green,
Where beauty shines, where hearts are clean.
Your name will live, your deeds will show,
Like seeds of love we used to sow.
So farewell now, with hope we stand,
Your soul is safe in Allah’s hand.
A Journey’s End
The book of life has reached its close,
Yet mercy like a river flows.

We trust Allah, the One who hears.
Your journey ends, but not in pain,
For every loss is Allah’s gain.
The grave a rest, a peaceful stay,
Till we rise again on Judgment Day.
With heavy hearts we bid goodbye,
But faith lifts hope, it does not die.
So sleep in peace, O soul so true,
May Jannah’s gates be opened to you.

In Allah’s book they’re safely laid.
So patience guides us through the pain,
We’ll meet in Paradise again.
With hearts at peace we let you go,
To Allah’s love, where rivers flow.
A Trust Returned
A soul is not for us to keep,
It flies beyond while we still weep.
Allah gave, and now He takes,
His wisdom guides the path He makes.
