Poetry on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People – 29 November

The dark clouds of cruelty will fade,

A new dawn of humanity is nobly made.

The sun of freedom, will rise anew,

And Palestine’s independence, will forever shine through.

From Ashes to Dawn: Palestine’s Unyielding Dream

A Poem by Yasir Qazi

Oppressor, with bloodstained hands,

Do you think silence will grasp the land?

That Palestinian voices will fade away?

And freedom’s flame will succumb to your gray?

Your bombs may shatter Beirut’s walls,

But spirits unbroken, will rise through the falls.

You may take lives, but not the fight,

For martyrs’ blood ignites the revolution’s light.

Hassan Nasrullah’s legacy remains,

Ismail Haniya’s spirit still sustains.

Yahya Sinwar’s courage forever stands tall,

His memory will never fade, never fall.

Their dreams of freedom, justice, and right,

Will fuel the fire that burns through the night.

From every drop of blood, a rose will bloom,

In Palestine and Lebanon, a new dawn’s tune.

Hearts beating strong, with freedom’s cry,

Will echo loud, until the victor’s sky.

Your tyranny will fall, your chains will break,

For every martyr, a thousand will awake.

The dark clouds of cruelty will fade,

A new dawn of humanity is nobly made.

The sun of freedom, will rise anew,

And Palestine’s independence, will forever shine through.

Freedom’s Path Overcoming Adversity

A poem by Mahnoor Iqbal

Where hope once flourished, now echoes remain,

Shattered bodies testify to pain.

In Palestine’s heart and soul, rivers flow,

Bloodied yet unbroken, freedom’s call grows.

For every martyr, disfigured and worn,

A tree of courage stands, unshaken and sworn.

Their souls soar high as eagles in the sky,

In every tear, hope’s spark never die.

Hearts of war-torn children, forged in steel,

Endure hardships, refusal their reveal.

In Gaza’s streets, resistance stands tall,

Defiance conquers, oppression’s wall.

Bombs shake the ground, earthquake-like might,

Yet Palestine’s spirit remains unbroken in flight.

Life defies death, breath by breath,

The world must act, civilians’ plight to address.

Palestine stands tall, bleeding yet unbroken,

Rising with each fall, for freedom unspoken.

For those who fell, for those who remain,

Freedom’s sake, their lives are given, again and again.
