Elegy : A Sonnet for Palestine (edited 2009 version)


A Sonnet for Palestine

By Ahmad Naeem Bin Mohd Nadir

O when time comes,

They will see,

They will beg,

But how will we react?

To these nonchalant cries of help?



This boy with a stone in his hand,

Lashing the Zions monstrous tanks,

A process of David vs Goliath,

With fight and trust is in Allah,

This kid defends his sacred land,

An unfair fight till the end.


A death sentence that leads to paradise,

A cause they suffer to suffice,

They will ask then,

Oh where, where were we?

We so called pompous populace,

Sat back and watch the Quds subside!!


Our prayers is what they need,

Together standing we are as one creed,

Let our souls intertwine as one,

Struggles we’ll face together no longer we’ll run,

Show the world the unity that lies within,

Let them have it,

Let them see true passion indeed.



Our prayers like bullets,

Let them fly,

Shoot down the Zionist barricades,

Our prayers like armors,

Let them seek,

Protect the Quds and that He will fulfill their needs.


This blood they feed on,

Dead bodies they lie upon,

Let’s pray, let’s all pray,

Let them be strong,

For this fight is going to last quite long.

Prophecy dictates our victory after swansong!

NB. Originally written back in 2009, “refurbished” in 2011. With love and all truest of beliefs that Palestine will be free, inshaAllah.
