Palestine

Taken out our heart

Left us penniless

What caused the selfishness?

Oh people of Palestine are crying out for their homeland

You have left us senseless

Without our family, where is the happiness?

The sadness shall remain like a very stubborn stain

Never a smile can we ever regain

Oh people of Palestine are crying out for their homeland

The children are suffering their loved ones no longer living

Empty land, filled with sand

Memories of past shall always last

Oh people of Palestine are crying out for their homeland

The bombs fall without slack, every wall of Palestine cries out from each crack

The world silently passes by

The birds hide and spy

The mountains stand still to witness each that dies

And the angels carry out the souls and eager to fly

To a place where glad tidings lie

Oh people of Palestine are crying out for their homeland

Eyes are wept day and night

From homeland has disappeared its light

The star seem scattered and the homes flattened

Bodies are waiting, while the burying is delaying

Oh people of Palestine are crying out for their homeland

Oh people of Palestine dont despair, dont despair

Allah has promised to bring back your land

Your homeland is waiting for you in Paradise.
