To Free Palestinians
You, free Palestinian, will always cherish this land.
The land is your mirror, you endure the hardship
in the indefinite unfolding of their blades on your neck,
but your mind is no less sharp.
They want to drive you to Sinai desert,
yet you dive into your mirror that embraces you with open heart.
Don't get distracted by their rumor,
to the wild chorus of their premature victory,
that you've thrown the towel.
They ought to listen to the unwavering ties that bind you to
your land, to your unmuzzled cry for justice,
ungagged, echoing between the river and the sea.
