I saw this beautiful piece of poetry in a local magazine. This is by the great Faiz. Its beautifully written and is so full of feelings. As a tribute to the struggle of palestine, and to the people of palestine, those who live in this world, and those live in the other, i post this.
"Mein jahan bhi gaya arz-e-watan,
teri tazleel k daaghon ki jalan dil may liye,
teri hurmat ke chiraaghon ki lagan dil may liye,
teri ulfat teri yaadon ki kasak sath gayee,
teray naaranj shagoofon ki mehak sath gayee,
saaray undaikhay rafeeqonn ka jilo
sath raha,
kitne hathon se hum-aghosh mera hath raha,
dur pardais ki bay-mehr guzargaahon may,
ajnabi shehr ki bay-nam-o-nishan raahon may,
jis zameen par bhi khula mere lahoo ka parcham,
lehlahata hai wahan arz-e Falasteen ka 'alam,
tere a'ada ne kiya aik Falasteen barbaad,
mere zakhmon ne kiye kitne Falasteen aabaad."
Faiz Ahmad Faiz

indeed a beautiful writing...
prayers for our Muslim brothers and sisters.
Do listen to the song "We Will Not Go Down" by Michael Heart. Its about Gaza. The lyrics are really touching...
A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right
But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
