Patriotic Love


Patriotic Love


 

Tawfiq Zaiyyad


From the intensity of love I shall perish,
Because in sorrow and anguish I cherish
My benighted, beloved
Palestine, occupied
By the enemies who had it crucified!
From my great love Jasmine blooms,
And tortured Palestine always looms
Large and luminous in my mind ;
And, in my dreams I always find
The glowing face of my occupied land,
And I ask if anyone may understand
How intensive love can sometimes kill!
It is such love that strengthens my will
To struggle relentlessly till I redeem
My beloved country, to realize my dream!
