Poems in honour of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan

Welcome... Oh Long Departed

Welcome, oh long-departed,
Greetings, welcome well received.

Welcome, a million welcomes,
We are cheered by your presence.

A leader, home illuminated by you,
Among your tribe and family.

Arriving home, receive esteem,
From our hearts we are proud of you.

Invoking God, may He respond,
Joy and fortune won by you.

Lightened your world softly,
Among the young and the old.

Forthcoming fortune reveals,
One who delights and is with you delighted.

Of bright cheeks, with wisps,
Feeling you struck her when she struck you.
