This true leader is worthy of honor.
He always had a heart and mind that excels.
He woke minds and brought people together.
He joyfully embraced the diversity forever.
He led by the example and showed us the way,
That made us all leaders of today.


His love for his people was seen in action,
He went through hardships for our satisfaction.
He always valued everyone's opinion, 
and adopted a strong vision for the million.
Truly, I tell you, he was a man of wonders,
A zealous leader like a thousand thunders.


He never gave up on his goals,
Trust to put a smile on a thousand souls.
If i were to name a man irreplaceable in history
"Sheikh Zayed", i would say remembering his victory
