The Dove of the Endless Horizon

A Lament for the Martyred Soul and the Guardian of the Faith

By Mohammad Mahdi Abdollahi

News came suddenly flying from this road
Like a dove flying beyond the sky

News came that the noble and great master
From this edge flew to the endless horizons

News came that the devoted friend of Waliullah
Flew amid the lament of Ya Sahib al-Zaman

He was a martyr and lived martyr-like all his life
Martyr Khamenei also flew from among us

The one who had the love of Ali in his soul
The soul of the whole world, the soul of this world flew

Blessed is the happiness of such a man
The guardian of all Muslims flew like that

Lover of the family of Ali, servant of the compassionate Imam
All his life, he flew with the passion of the Imam’s soul

Inside the garden full of unknown tulips
Searching for the nameless martyrs, he flew

Defender of the shrine of the Islamic Revolution
The dove of the shrine of Sahib al-Zaman flew

What a great fortune this is, better than fate
At the time of the month of God, he flew with the breath of the call to prayer

What a beautiful ending the great Ayatollah had
For the love of the people of Iran, he flew relentlessly

How bitter and sorrowful was the news, our leader
He ascended and flew beyond the sky

Martyr Khamenei is alive, he is eternal
Although he left, he flew from among us
