"يصلّي على أخيه ويبكي، لا يدري كيف يودّع من كان سندًا له وظهرًا وقوّة!
الله وحده يعلمُ كم يمتلئ قلبه بالحُزن الذي يُثقل جبالًا بجبروتها!"

Translation of caption:
He prays for his brother and cries, not knowing how to say goodbye to someone who was his support, back and strength!
God alone knows how much his heart is filled with sadness that weighs mountains down with its might!
