"I endured afflictions and sowrrow When death took Haylanah to itself. I parted from my happiness when I lost her And care not now what it may be. She was my world: and when she sank Into her grave, I parted from my world. Verily people have multiplied, but I Behold no creature after her. By Allah, I shall not forget thee As long as the wind shaketh the boughs on the upland."
Harun al-Rashid
