Yesterday I was your companion and today I am (just) a lesson for you, while tomorrow I shall be leaving you.

أَنَا بِالْأَمْسِ صَاحِبُكُمْ، وَالْيَوْمَ عِبْرَةٌ لَكُمْ، وَغَداً مُفَارِقُكُمْ، إِنْ أَبْقَ فَأَنَا وَلِيُّ دَمِي، وَإِنْ أَفْنَ فَالْفَنَاءُ مِيعَادِي، وَإِنْ أَعْفُ فَالْعَفْوُ لِي قُرْبَةٌ، وَهُوَ لَكُمْ حَسَنَةٌ، فَاعْفُوا ﴿أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَن يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ﴾.
