My People do not despair
The hour of liberation approaching fast
"Road Maps", Road Blocks, "Peace Processes", Blockades,
Walls, Checkpoints, Prisons, Exile, Siege, Home-Demolition, Uprooting Trees,
School Destruction, Machine-guns, F16, Drones, Bombs, White-phosphorus ...
Does not scare us into submission
Swollen Bank Accounts, Casinos, Fat pockets, Fame, Membership into privileged Clubs...
Yes declaring a semi-state

Swollen Bank Accounts, Casinos, Fat pockets, Fame, Membership into privileged Clubs...
Does not lure us into accepting crumbs
Sticks and Carrots are not for us
Get that into your heads army of Zion
We are the guardians of Palestine
مرابطون إلى يوم الدين

Yes declaring a semi-state
on 11% of historic Palestine
is rather pathetic
It does not relinquish
decades of thirst for justice
It does not satisfy
Generations' longing for freedom
It does not show respect
Rivers of blood of martyrs
It does not heal
Wounds of millions left disabled
It does not caress
Hearts of babies buried under rubble
It does not bring back home
A nation of exiled
It does not rebuild
Our Biblical villages
It does not fulfill
Our aspiration of liberation
However,
The countdown for the END of "state of Zion"
Only just began
Brothers and sisters on the ground
Ignore collaborators and think "now what?"
You've done your best
You've given so much
You came so far
Take a brief respite
Breathe in and out
Fill your lungs
Get ready for what is to come
The countdown only just began
.
