In memory of a giant among us

He walked the talk...
He spoke gently from his heart
He spoke the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth
All said with candor was his style
He touched us all with his humility and gentle smile
Even the most devious could not escape his searching gaze
For the righteous he gave his praise
Tok Guru Nik Aziz, a true Malaysian indeed
He was a giant among us all
We will miss you, Tok, your wisdom and your love for us
God’s blessings shall be yours forever.
