The Last Salutation

Squiggle a sketch of me
   Before the dawn appears 
And i move on with flocks

Salute me with the best salutation you can
   May be this is the last memory we share 
   And seperation is destined

The caravans are on the way
Look into my eyes
   You see no fear and my hands won't tremble
   War and love both are important

Kiss my forehead
   And hug me a farewell
  May be ,this is the last romance

Chants of victory
  you will hear before dusk
 May be i will not come back

Don't moisten your eyes and regret not
   Its not betrayal
  Moments of love are often short

If some one brings you the news of my death
   You should not believe
       Rather celebrate the victory
   Surely i shall have spilled my blood

Don't count me in stars
    Search me in your heart
I will be there forever, alive

    And those western winds
  Carry my soul
Honour  them with smiles
     And don't be sad
 This will be the last salutation for sure

As Quran say, don't call them dead, we feed them, they are alive, u just can't comprehend their state..... That's a great write Amir Khan. Congratulations on your first placement.
