Embrace the death
Blow me up
burn me down
cut the vein
let the pain
prevail again
Take the knife

O’ My kin
Let me bleed
bleed to death
paint the floor
paint in red

scream not
Lamp is shattered
light is gone
cloud is scattered
Mourn is on
Close your eyes
Cut your throat
Embrace the death
Regret not.
(M. Ghufran)
