Goodbye Fatima Al-Ajmi
Murdered by your brother, twice
for marrying someone outside of your tribe
I hope these deeply racist and sexist social issues
which manifested such an extreme and violent case
are less casually accepted, yet uprooted and resolved

“What does 'delam tange' mean?”
And she started singing, “'delam tange, golam sange,'
It means my heart is bothered.
