I will go after I die 

*    *     *    * 

To Hussein Jassim is heading and he wants to offer his life

His mother wanted to see him, married standing next to his wife

Instead of this he will now face, every spear with every sharp knife 

Oh Jassim when you left the tent

What were you thinking when you went?

To the lord your life will be sent

And I stay in grieve and in strife  

With your father’s soul

I hope you come back alive

For Hussein my son

Go to the war and please strive 

The death oh mother     is my only sight and to my father

I will go after I die

To the war Jassim has left and on his shoulders mountains of pain

From the clouded soldiers fired, the arrows just like they were rain

For your news they are now waiting, your mother and Uncle Hussein 

You were hit my son on your head

Paid your life just like how you said

On the path your father has led

He who hits you must be insane

Too young you are son

How could they hit you like this?

True soldier you are

Your strength we will always miss

The words you told me      let me go and fight  and to my father

I will go after I die
