Line 44: A Pakistani poet Qazi Zafar Iqbal paid tribute to Jan Palach in the form of a Poem in Urdu. The poem is included in his book named "Ghurfa-e-Shab (The Window of Night)" published in 2006 in the city of Lahore. The Luxembourg-based Welsh composer Dafydd Bullock was commissioned to write "Requiem for Jan Palach" (op 182) to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of Palach's suicide. It includes a setting of words which appeared briefly on a statue in Wenceslas Square after the event, before being erased by the authorities: "Do not be indifferent to the day when the light of the future was carried forward by a burning body".<ref>{{Cite web \|url=http://www.bullockmusic.info/Dafydd_Bullock_Website/Catalogue.html \|title=Catalogue \|publisher=Bullockmusic.info \|date= \|accessdate=14 April 2011 \|deadurl=yes \|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721190108/http://www.bullockmusic.info/Dafydd_Bullock_Website/Catalogue.html \|archivedate=21 July 2011 \|df=dmy-all }}</ref> In their 1983 song "Nuuj Helde" the Janse Bagge Bend (from the Netherlands) asks whether people know why Jan Palach burned.
