My friend's death

Mohamed Okab 1994 (Egypt)

Elegy
The friend's house is in front of me. Now, here is the house, but where is he?
 He left without saying farewell to me. I wish I could listen to him again.
Your sudden decease kills me.
I have no desire nor wish to live.
Life has become dark and fictive.
 Rest in peace, my friend. Rest in peace forever.
Oh cruel graves, grab me as life became unbearable.
