(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

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“if thou slip thy troth and do not come at all.
As minutes in the clock do strike so call for death I shall:
To please both thy false heart, and rid myself from woe,
That rather had to die in troth than live forsaken so.”
—Unknown. The Lady Prayeth the Return of Her Lover Abiding on the Seas (l. 19–22)
““Promise me solemnly,” I said to her as she lay on what I believed to be her death bed, “if you find in the world beyond the grave that you can communicate with me—that there is some way in which you can make me aware of your continued existence—promise me solemnly that you will never, never avail yourself of it.” She recovered and never, never forgave me.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The death clock is ticking slowly in our breast, and each drop of blood measures its time, and our life is a lingering fever.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
