|<poem>
如果我必须死，那你一定要继续活下去
去倾述我的故事
去卖我的遗物
去买一块布
和一团线，
（做个白色的吧，加一条悠长的尾巴）
为了那个还在加薩某处的孩兒
当他抬头凝视天堂
仍然等待着火焰中早已远走的爸爸一
走之前没有与任何人道别
甚至没与躯体道别
与自身道别一
当孩儿看到这只风等，你替我做的风等，向天上
飘啊飘
他将认为这就是天使
让爱回归
如果我必领死，那就让它带来希望
让它化为故事

English

If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze—
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself—
sees the kite, my kite you made,
flying up above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love
If I must die,
let it bring hope
let it be a tale
