Palestine, Our Own

Palestine, Our Own

Tawfiq Zaiyyad Our land is pregnant, so are the years, Though drenched in blood and tears: We believe in our inalienable right: And to preserve it we shall fight. We are not afraid of the usurpers’ might. We shall shatter the darkness of night. O Zionist! Take off thy bloody hand Leave our people free on their beloved land! How can ye live alone aboard a ship, Roaming the seas in never-ending trip, Floating on oceans of blood. hate and fire. Depending on looting, killing and brutal power? Nay, we swear by the light of our dawn That Palestine shall ever remain, our Own. Zajel / An-Najah National University
