What if I die?

What if I die? (by Ahmad Babar):
As I walk down this road
I wonder what would happen if I die?
Will anyone remember me?
Will anyone even cry?
How will I be remembered?
How will they take my name?
Will I be praised?
Or will I be deprived of the dead man's fame?
So what will happen?
What will happen if I die?
Will I end up in Hell?
Or towards Heaven my soul will fly?
I wonder about these questions
I am amazed at my life
I don't know what to do now
I just sit playing with the knife
What will happen if I live?
Or would it be different if I die?
Will they miss me?
Or will they jump with joy?
Will I be given a proper funeral?
Or to the vultures I will be fed?
Will they come pay their respects?
Or will I be left on a thorny bed?
Answers I don't want
To these queries
All I really want
Is to leave behind some pleasant memories
But there's one thing that I want
That when I actually die
I want you there by my side
And I want to hear from you my final lullaby
