My life in Madinah has been a great blessing, <br />It is the very place I will be greatly missing. <br /> <br />I've known some good fellows, <br />Who helped me with my sorrows. <br /> <br />To be a good teacher, or not to be so, <br />Has always rendered me a friend or a foe. <br /> <br />I like the place here, the Dean and the College, <br />They all helped me augment my knowledge. <br /> <br />I know for a fact I was sometimes unkind, <br />So please forgive me that I know you won't mind. <br /> <br />I wish I could say more, <br />I wish I were so sure, <br /> <br />That we shall stay together, <br />Happy, and true to each other.<br /><br />Omar Osman Jabak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/farewell-beloved-madinah/
