(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:
“You don’t send a man to his death because you want a hero.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
“Water, earth, air, fire, and the other parts of this structure of mine are no more instruments of your life than instruments of your death. Why do you fear your last day? It contributes no more to your death than each of the others. The last step does not cause the fatigue, but reveals it. All days travel toward death, the last one reaches it.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Hunger shall make thy modest zone
And cheat fond death of all but bone—”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
