What name shall I leave?

In different times and in different circles,

By different names I had been identified

With reference to my parents and grandparents

Or with reference to my spouse or my children

And in the meantime by pseudonyms and surnames

And sometimes by the posts held, all along my life.

By what name I have been known in a circle

Had become irrelevant to other circles.

What name shall I leave to stay behind when I die?
