(In Kurdish)
له سهر کێلم به بۆیهی سور بنووسن خۆشهویستانم
له ناو گۆڕا له ژێر خاکا له ڕیزی دهست له دهستانم
به پهیمانێ که من دابووم به کوردو خاکی کوردستان
به نهعرهی ڕاپهڕین شهرته که بانگ کا من له ههستانم
Leser kêlim be boyey sur binusin xoşwistanim
Lenaw gora le jer xaka le rizi dest le destanim
Be peymanê ke min dabum be Kurd u Kurdistan
Be neêrey raperin şerte ke bang ka min le hestanim

Of watching you.”

“Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit
Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal taste
Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing Heav’nly Muse, that on the secret top
Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
In the Beginning how the Heav’ns and Earth
Rose out of Chaos:”
