(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 thee thy brittle beauty so deceives,
Know then the thing that swells thee is thy bane;
For the same beauty doth, in bloody leaves.
The sentence of thy early death contain.”
—Sir Richard Fanshawe (1608–1666)
“Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man’s life and work go on after his “death,” whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not.... There is no such thing as death according to our view!”
—Martin Bormann (1900–1945)
“The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island. In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.”
—J.M. (John Millington)
