WAKE UP! 

You didn't wait for me to say Happy Birthday! Wake up! It's your birthday today. The guests are here to celebrate this day. Wake up! Don't sleep! Your sister has something to say. Our dad will embrace your coffin veiled by a faint ray. Our dad is waiting there to say Happy Birthday! How many angels has he invited to celebrate this day? My only brother! Do wait for me to pray! You saved this sour wine for your last birthday. Your coffin will travel to reach our dad's way. My only brother! Do wake up to greet your guests! My only brother!  The sky watches the birds leaving their nests.
