in if condition you are validating 'ram' but this name not a hyperlink text

hyperlink text is 'Narr' you need change

if(lang=='Narr')

<script language="javascript" type ="text/javascript" >
function confirmDelete() {
var lang = document.getElementById('name').innerHTML
if (lang == 'Narr') {
var x = confirm("Are you sure you want to Log Out?");
} else {
var x = confirm('Basha');
}

}
</script>
