A poem by Brunei poet Yahya MS on the death of his daughter (for a former student: Allahyarham Arif Azman who passed away in Melbourne at 10 am today):
Tangan kami bukan tak kasih
Tangan Tuhan, tapi, itu lebih sayang
maka dipanggilnya kau ke sisiNya
tanpa banyak cara dan acara [...]
Allahumma,
telahku serahkan semula anakku
kerana Engkau memintanya,
Kau jadikan ia taruhan
dan kusempurnakan menurut dayaku
telah sampai waktunya
dan tiada daya mengingkarinya (from Perjalanan Terakhir Anakku Yang Hilang, 2003, 39-41)
We'll miss you, Arif.Al fatihah.

He was our colleague for just awhile, in PJ. I was shocked when I heard the news last night, from another colleague. Allah lebih sayangkan dia.
