This rap song by Bakhtawar Bhutto to pay her tribute to her beloved mother Benazir Bhutto has appeared on YouTube and is repeatedly being played on Pakistani TV Channels.

Bakhtawar Bhutto, 18 is the eldest daughter of Pakistan's assassinated Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto. She has expressed her deep sense of loss and grief describing her mother's courage as "crazy courage" and as "the epitome of benevolence".

The following is the text of this english rap song which has earned mixed reviews from viewers across the world:

"My mother was murdered. I don't even comprehend. Was it worth dying for? I'm walking through screened doors,"

"No comfort or ease. I'm begging you please, God bless the deceased".

"whole world is weeping" over the murder.

"Shot in the back of your ear, so young in 54th year, murdered with three kids left behind, a hopeless nation without you, you are in all their hearts," it says.

"I would take the pain away".
