Oh children of
Palestine!
by
Yasmin Hussein and Sajaa
Vurdubakis*
Do not cry, have
patience
Allah
is much aware
So he
will take good care.
All
humans are equal so do not fear
For
Allah is so very near.
Oh
children of Palestine!
We know
you are in pain
And
while some of us are thinking about our fame.
Oh Children of Palestine!
We know
the fear you have each time you wake up
And we
understand there is not much to drink in your cup.
But Inshallah you will be fine
So just
be strong and give it all some time!
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
La Ilaha Ila Allah!
