“We have on this land that which makes life worth living We have on this land all of that which makes life worth living April’s hesitation The aroma of bread at dawn A woman’s beseeching of men The writings of Aeschylus Love’s beginning Moss on a stone Mothers standing on a flute’s thread And the invader’s fear of memories We have on this land that which makes life worth living September’s end A woman leaving ‘forty’ behind with all of her apricots The hour of sunlight in prison A cloud reflecting a swarm of creatures A people’s applause for those who face their own erasure with a smile And the tyrant’s fear of songs. We have on this land all of that which makes life worth living On this land The lady of our land The mother of all beginnings And the mother of all ends She was called Palestine Her name later became Palestine My lady…. Because you are my lady I have all of that which makes life worth living.”
Beautiful...and the poetry's good too..

Arabic is a language not a country
Mahmoud Darwish
I'm in love...
MY GOD!
lindo 1 joven poeta enfrentandose a los judios que al pareser letienen miedo a la pluma y a las palabras de 1 poeta que a 1 piedra o lluvias de piedras lansadas con la fuersa de jovenes corazones que claman por livertad
Free palestine 🇵🇸 the lady of our land the mother of all beginnings love from sweden🇸🇪

على هذه الأرض ما يستحق الحياة: تردد إبريل، رائحة الخبزِ في الفجر، آراء امرأة في الرجال، كتابات أسخيليوس ، أول الحب، عشب على حجرٍ، أمهاتٌ تقفن على خيط ناي، وخوف الغزاة من الذكرياتْ. ** على هذه الأرض ما يستحق الحياةْ: نهايةُ أيلولَ، سيّدةٌ تترُكُ الأربعين بكامل مشمشها، ساعة الشمس في السجن، غيمٌ يُقلّدُ سِرباً من الكائنات، هتافاتُ شعب لمن يصعدون إلى حتفهم باسمين، وخوفُ الطغاة من الأغنياتْ. ** على هذه الأرض ما يستحقّ الحياةْ: على هذه الأرض سيدةُ الأرض، أم البدايات أم النهايات. كانت تسمى فلسطين. صارتْ تسمى فلسطين. سيدتي: أستحق، لأنك سيدتي، أستحق الحياة **
If nation dont have a call.give I My prayer today is once for all all for once at the beggining was the word the word exsplain radiation but not the word find with finger in mouth where is hode & when it speaks gais oil fill the atmosphere with brute adour !!
good luck finding it
P A L E S T I N E :)
@UWONahla No you can. It's just heard in the way you pronounce some letters like the 3en and the qaf and especially the Maddeh. You know when he extends the Alef.
i was meant to say language but his poem messed my senses up
🌿💾🏛 Male comes by giving birth by female ..Caracter comes by giving birth by knowledge ..Gifted male giving birth by above ..the Father of the light ..females do not comes from above but who turn off the light..say anything ..dont move and you will feel it...Today if you hear the voice ..pass as much as you can with God ...meditation will come ..faith will stand...If you stay with me and I stay with you evrything will seek to my Father in my name He will be given to you..
They don't have poets like Darwish in Birobidzhan
Does anyone have this poem written in Arabic? I searched online but couldn't find it. Thanks!

www.goodreads.com/quotes/410475 Good but there are a couple differences from his recitation. www.aldiwan.net/poem9094.html same thing but clearer. Also I think there is a mistake
@meeshificationable Oh gosh i sound so ignorant right now, i have no idea why i wrote that i was supposed to say language, i guess this poem got to me so much, i wasn't even thinking properly :/
that was shorter in english wasnt it?
Traductor en español
@sabrinais but I respect your enthusiasm nonetheless :)
@sabrinais hahah thats okay! :)
He has a Channing Tatum look to him.
Not that this detracts from the intensity of this poem...but it's not a flute's thread. Maybe a harp?
I love hearing his beautiful Iraqi accent make this poem even more beautiful.

He's Syrian
I want you to know that what happened in December cost human lives in Syria and that it was totally you guys fault, no matter how much money you raised. Entisar's life matters, you pushed her into dangerous situations. It cost the Syrian Opposition human lives while you were laughing. It wasn't my fault, you endangered them. أنقذوا سوريا. 🖤🕊💚🇸🇾
the reason why i'm proud to be palestinian.
@UWONahla Omg I'm mind blown. He doesn't sound Syrian at all!
Yet our top comments are just desperate girls -__-
the name later became Palestine
@sabrinais with all do respect, Arabic is not a country.
God dayum Justin bieber Fan girls!.. can we focus on the lyrical content from pure geniousness instead of his "chaning tatum" look! hahahaha
