A poem entitled -A Love Unbound-

Alas, no joy have I these many years,
Since sorrow s shadow o er my life has cast,
The cruel oppression, the treacherous fears,
That have my very being long surpassed.

In Gaza, my home, the house was torn asunder,
The shop, the mosque, all ravaged by the blast,
And Leila, she knows not where her loved ones wander,
The son, the spouse, the child, all from her cast.

Where is your manhood, that it should be spent,
On women of the night, on racing steeds?
Where do your bombs and shells their fury vent,
In Gaza, where death stalks, and no safety heeds?

The slain return, to slay once more with might,
E en those who rest within the grave s dark hold,
In Gaza, they rise again, to be slay again,
And I to Leila say, "No laughter I ll unfold."

She answers, "Nor weep, for Gaza s earth ne er cries,
It shelters all our youth, a fortress strong,
Behold the sea, the sands, like gunpowder lies,
Don t fear those whom God Himself doth seek to slay,
For in His wisdom, their doom has been assayed,
And none can stay the coming of that day.

For death hath two doors, one to Paradise,
The other, for the faithless, flames that burn,
O Muslim, take heart, and to the heavens rise,
While those who scorn the faith, in hell shall turn.
