Soon
I may face the murderous bale
As I already lie in an open grave.
IF I MUST DIE, O’GOD
Let it not be like the slaughtered dogs
Stabbed and strangled in a gory spot
While around me, bleat profane noise
IF I MUST DIE, O’GOD
Let it not be like the rotten corpse
Blasted and burnt in an indigent hut
While around me, reechos automated canons
IF I MUST DIE, O’GOD
Let me nobly die a shahid
Whose blood will manure a revolutionary tree
Which will utterly annihilate every suffering
*shahid – martyr
