"Brave"

When I saw my beloved's dead body
I saw a young, brave Pashtun soldier
who was always prepared for a fight
to defend whatever was fair and right
a man whose very kind and gentle heart
made him from others his age stand apart
a man whose every single action showed
he lived and died by Pashtunwalli's code
Now I stand weeping at my love's grave
praying that I too, can live a life so brave
