Are you a man or an angel?
Constantly I wonder
How can any mortal
With only human capacity
Live… and die
Without leaving any one
Feeling anything
Towards him
But immense admiration
And genuine love
Is that at all possible?
Can that human be real?
How can someone
Be adored so much…
By so many…
For such a length of time…
Your selfless soul
Lived only to serve others
Your great big heart
Always made room for all
Your brilliant mind
An inspiration to many
Your time was never yours alone
If I didn’t know you
If I didn’t live with you
I would’ve found this notion
Difficult to believe
But Habibi… you are real
You lived an exemplary life
That’s difficult to imitate
Hard to live up to
So is it any wonder
That I always wonder
