Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, today shared a beautiful poem in memory of the Saudi poet Prince Badr bin Abdul Mohsen, who passed away last Saturday. The poem, titled "In Mourning for Brother Prince Badr bin Abdul Mohsen," conveys the following:
Poetry does not perish or die, creativity remains
But Badr, among the stars, has dismounted.
A poet whose words bend to his will,
He elevated meaning with what he documented.
Oh, Badr, your verses continue to echo as long as this world persists,
Your stature remains esteemed,
As the sun sets behind you,
Your glorious fate resonates with us.
And people know that you are gold,
A true essence and abode.
Always the first,
In humility alongside high morals.
On you, those in need relied on your goodness.
If your presence is absent,
Your charm remains a fixture in poetry.
Oh, creative one, who transformed after triumph.
