The demise of a mother causes immense grief. Bushra pens a poignant prayer-poem, about her grief and hope, exclusively for Different Truths.
Go in peace, O gentle soul As you are laid to rest close to your husband dear Alone you are not, so fear ye not Your loving son also lies so near. May the angels guard you on your journey ahead May the Almighty ease your way May your grave be filled with the brightest light This will be our prayer for you every day. Fare thee well, O Mother dear Inshallah, we will meet in Heaven some day!
