Sadness without panic, crying without fear, and a void the size of the world, but it is filled with safety, this is how it is on the good land of the Emirates, the good people leave and are left like them, a people who made an old covenant of loyalty, and raced in the love of giving, and were humbled, so God raised them, and their dearest homes.

How great was the sadness in the streets and on the walls of houses, and over the basements of mosques, at your departure, our Sheikh “Bosultan”, but you, as we have entrusted you, left a priceless inheritance of safety, a pure banner, a fragrant biography, and the goodness of all without discrimination.

Yes, we console ourselves and accept condolences in you with rare sincerity without pretense or hypocrisy, sincerity made by justice that you have ruled for many years, and its origin is hard work and achievements, and the harnessing of resources to serve everyone on the land of the Emirates.

Yes, we postpone without hesitation every occasion, joy or happiness, in mourning for your good soul, and out of respect for the sorrows of a nobler homeland, our redemption, and our dearest station, and we have never felt that we are strangers.

Yes, we will miss you all, as much as you care for us, without discrimination or bias of gender, color or religion.

You will be missed by the streets that have always pleased you with your tours among people without guards or restrictions on creation, waving the hand of love to everyone and smiling at them from the heart, we will miss your presence that spreads reassurance, and confirms that goodness on earth remains for Judgment Day.

You will be missed by the homes that you built and honored their residents in areas where no one may have heard of their suffering, the mosques, schools and hospitals you built, and the livelihood you shared with the needy and needy everywhere.

O Sheikh, the doors of the Emirates are still welcoming the world, and your condolence book is open as if it were a new referendum on everyone’s love for a country that you carried its banner, empowered its people and spread goodness throughout.

Here on the land of the Emirates, the inheritance of safety and the inheritance of the love of goodness and the performance of honesty, so it is no wonder that great events pass in peace and ease, one of which we rarely find.

O our Sheikh, rest in peace, for everyone is satisfied with what your hands have offered, and everyone is praying for mercy and forgiveness as much as you spread goodness and humanity.

Our condolences, our Sheikh, that you left and left us in a trustworthy hand, with great humility, and a good man like you, who is known by far and wide as “the merciful Bukhalid of the heart,” the one who means the mornings of the Emirates every day with his famous saying “Do not paralyze them.”
