In loving memory of Samar Al Ansari: a loving daughter, wonderful sister, and great friend.
Oh New Year, you have come, and in what circumstances you came
Bringing hope to all to fulfill their dreams with the arrival of this new born
Everyone happily celebrated and welcomed your arrival
Except for us, as Samar left us, and our sadness sent the new year's joyfulness far away
In its place came deep sadness and agony for her departure
And our hearts bleed for her every day, as blood runs in veins
How can we be happy that the year ended when we enjoyed Samar and shared many memories
The peak of our happiness and delight was on her graduation day, a unique day
She strolled like a bride and even the moon was jealous and asked her to give him from her beauty.
We were blessed with Samar for eighteen years, but then fate said “Enough! No more”.
It seems like yesterday when she waited for the New Year to make her wishes
How can we celebrate you time when you did not give a long life to Samar?
Forgive us time for we will not celebrate you, but will only rejoice when time comes to meet Samar
Oh God, please let Samar enter the gardens of heaven and let her enjoy its bounty, Glorious You
Dear God please save me Ahmed, Omar and Qadar and strengthen their hearts, You Almighty
