Death

Death! A great disaster
Indeed a great calamity
It turns an ocean to a desert
It can't be escape by the skin of one's teeth...
Neither in the temple nor in a mosque
Not by a pastor nor by a priest

Great one that ruins a mighty king
It takes away a wealthy prince
It gaze out life from a thiny child
Oh! What a great disaster

Every cloud has a silver lining
Not in the matter of so called death
It appears to anyone it wishes
It ruins a happy home forever
It brings a sadness of farewell
Death! quite a great calamity
