Children of the stones

 

Children of Palestine

 

Beacons of Dignity

 

Lanterns of Hope

Freedom-lovers, Life-Givers

 

Before you courage, I stand in awe

 

At your wounds, I lower my gaze in shame

 

10488132_892566460757674_213125475698687539_n

In altruism, you are the masters

 

For Humanity…  The Inspiration

 

10655334_10153137416840760_7740851567672815380_o

Before the beauty of your scarred faces

 

10562519_4457552212470_3666082723553537711_o

I bow my head down

Kiss your feet

In utmost love and adoration

I remember, Lema and Nour

“My name is Lema, I am eight”

“My sister is Nour, she is five,

“Her name means Light”

“I took her out to buy some sweets”

“They bombed us, alhamdulillah”

“I was injured with shrapnel, alhamdulillah”

“My sister is a martyr, alhamdulillah”

“My sister is a bird in Heaven, alhamdulillah”

 

 

“We want to live in dignity, like all people, alhamdulillah”

“We are not afraid of Jews, alhamdulillah”

“We are patient, alhamdulillah”

“I am from gaza, alhamdulillah”

“I support the Resistance”

“I love the Resistance, alhamdulillah”

 

 

Lema… Your few words shuttered my being

The deluge of your silence uprooted me

The calmness of your screams  tormented my heart

The twinkle in your eyes, despite your wounds, haunted me

 

 

Lema, a melody of a Canary

A heart pure, delightful

Astounding wonder

From God, a sign

Lema, a mystic Psalm

Glorious, sublime

 

 

Stars above, pounded in dismay

The echo of your pain

Heavens knelt down, sobbing

The aura of your mighty grace

Words diminished, forgot their meanings,

Before your enchanting poise

 

 

Lema, sweetheart

Lema, a face of an angel from paradise

Lema, a scented rose, inspiring awe

Allow me to lay my head

Beneath the shadow of your pain

Kiss the ground,

Blessed with the touch of your toes

 

 

Lema, sweetheart, don’t cry

Your beloved is now free

She was Nour . . . Now she is Light

Shimmering in the heart of a green bird

His nest, a lantern of supernova light

 

 

Engulfed in joy, flying around

The Throne of the Most Loving, Most Kind

Singing rainbows and butterflies

Leaping up and diving down

Meadows as far as the eyes can see

Abode eternal, tranquil serene

 

 

Angels sing her lullabies

Peace be upon you

Peace upon your beautiful soul

Peace and bliss forevermore

At Heaven’s gate she often waits

Those she loved and much adored

لمى ونور


اسمي لمى وعمري ثمانية… واختي نور خمسة

اخذتها للدكان أشتري لها

قصفونا . . . الحمد لله

اصابتني شظايا . . . الحمد لله

اختي  شهيدة . . . الحمد لله

اختي عصفورة في الجنة . . . الحمد لله

* * *

بدنا حياة كريمة زي كل الناس . . . الحمد لله

أنا بحب كل الناس

أنا بخفش من اليهود الحمد لله

احنا صابرين الحمد لله

أنا من غزة . . . الحمد لله

أنا مع المقاومة . . .  أنا بحب المقاومة . . . الحمد لله

 

* * *

لمى هزتني كليماتك

اجتثنتي من الأعماق  سيولُ الصمت بآهاتك

وروع قلبي المكلومَ سكونٌ  لفَّ صرْخاتك

ولوَّعني ذاك البريق في عينيك رُغماً عن جراحاتك

 

* * *

لمى يا بلبلاً شادي… بصوت خافتٍ دافي

لمى مزمارُ داوودٍ… أيا قلباً طاهراً صافي

تاهت نجوم الليل في عليائها لرجع أنينك الخافي

 أطَّت سماءُ الكون وحقَّ لها، بحضرةِ صبرِك الكافي

قَمُؤَت نصوصُ الشِعر عن معانيها لروعة فوهِكِ الوافي

 

* * *

لمى يا حبيبة

لمى يا وجهَ حورية من الجنة

لمى يا وردةً جورية . . . لها المنَّة

دعيني أُمرِّغ رأسي تحت ظلالِ أوجاعِك

أبوس الترْب الذي بورك . . . بلمسهِ طرفَ أقدامِك

 

* * *

لمى يا حبيبة لا تجزعي

فحبيبتُك الآن حرة

هي نور وقد صارت الآن أطيافَ نورٍ

في جوف طيرٍ أخضرٍ

عُشُّه قِنديلُ نور

 

* * *

ملائك الرحمن تحفو بها  تُقرِئُها السلام

تُطأطئُ الهاماتِ إكباراً واجلالا

تَفرِشُ الأكوانَ لها ياسميناً وأزهارا

 

* * *

نورتطوف الآن نشوى

حول عرش الحبيب

تُسَّبح في الفجر تراتيل امتنان

تفرش العشب مروجاً وسكينة

تنثرُ الدعواتِ أريجَ زهرٍ

 

سلامٌ عليكم بما طبتم

سلامٌ عليكم بما صبرتم

فنعم عقبى الدار

سلام سلام وروح وريحان

ترسم البسماتِ أشواقاً وحباً

ولقاءً للأحبة بأكناف الجنان

Baba Stop Sobbing


10487447_387610351404459_2071001673642606619_n

Baba habibi

Don’t hide your eyes in pain

Don’t bow your head down in sorrow

Lift it up, hold it high

look up, look up

You may see my grin and twinkly eyes

10376916_10153090756998868_511769671329038922_n

Baba, I kiss your heart, stop sobbing, don’t cry

 

1780916_387610311404463_5762374471231180434_n

If you could see me now

You would wipe your tears

and jump of joy

Now, I go to bed with no fear

No longer do I need to block my ears to sleep

No longer do I wet my bed at night

10511358_763567717014372_1074851136754027585_n

Up there, where I now reside

No F16 fly above

No drones, no gas, no smoke

No bombs fall from sky

Only the face of Most loving

Angels humming

Stars shimmering

and dancing butterflies

همسة


آه كم احبكم وكم اغبطكم يا اهل الرباط

وددت لو اقبل الارض تحت اقدامكم

وددت لو انثر مهجتي

عطراً وندى، على عتبات دياركم

هاكم قلبي، فلا املك سواه

يناجيكم على استحياء

Don’t leave me alone


“Baba and I are best friends

We often play and laugh till late

In his arms I felt like a king

Near his heart, I touched the moon”

10509583_1504374739775621_8028773900594984973_n

But, once upon a freaky nightmare

Monsters in human form

Zipped out in a dark and eery night

Landed upon his Holy-Land

10427280_372781536220674_6243511926055637568_n

Ogres of death kidnapped his heart

Snatched it off and left a void

He holds on mama tight and weeps

Baba is gone, don’t leave me alone

A Tear for the World


24500_340550041306_306817171306_4005589_3612779_n

I feel your throbbing pain

O World

I see your bleeding soul

I cringe, I go insane

 

1174529_425899854197209_1035716381_n

Weary, I retreat

To the land of barren tears

Where no man has ever been

In silence, I weep

 

34859_408249576306_306817171306_4944038_8122620_n

“O dear God”

I whisper

“How can such a small heart,

Take all this pain?”

 

1374204_756907607658458_715039462_n

Alhamdulillah

My newborn grandson

 

An absolute treasure;

 

Not just an antidepressant

 

But a joy-agent

A bundle of delight

Alhamdulillah

The Rescue


 

 

19005_490496997684006_946839922_n 

Deep… deep inside…

In the land of sorrow… where I reside

Where only pain reigns

Passion becomes resistance

Love grows rebellious

And hope stands tall

1510684_10152067365561291_143994055_n

Grief runs deep

Cutting through hills and mountains

In the caves and underground

Far beyond my reach

44846_357840464336482_1535067714_n

It was raining agony… that day

Restless… agitated… weighed down

Haunted by my nightmare

You’re never coming home

1240059_757181884297697_466742450_n

Looking up… into sky

Yelling for help

My soul whispers

Here I am God… exhausted… give me your hand… come to my aid

Here I am God… full of sorrow… and anguish…ease my pain

Here I am God… hurt and tired… help me…hold me… heal me

Here I am God… lonely… be my friend and companion

Here I am God… lost… guide me… show me the way

542958_457603060947731_1550674699_n

And like a dazzling morning at the crack of dawn, dispelling all darkness

Like gentle rain drops drizzling over a parched piece of land

Like a rainbow flowing piercing through thick murky clouds

Like sweet scent of love drifting capturing your heart

Like a velvet ruby rose blooming right before your eyes

Like a soft warm blanket in a cold winter night

Like a tender mother’s hand stroking her child

I felt

God’s loving-hand

557982_10151517197869291_287345742_n

Then…

Then this sweet… sweet comfort

Gently overwhelming

Lovingly embracing

Tenderly holding

Magically transforming

That distressed soul with a troubled heart

1480696_534924323271895_1501105471_n

In this land of sorrow

Suddenly

Pain is overthrown and Passion reigns again

And sweet… sweet comfort falls down as rain

Calm descends

Serenity prevails

Tranquillity enfolds

Joy blooms

And sweet… sweet comfort falls down as rain
