The Beautiful Land

By Emin Khalladi Noka

Through all the fire and shattering bombs, Im lying in my cot.
Through all the cries and sorrowful wails, Im thinking only one thought.
Palestine was meant to be beautiful, from the first day till today.
It is the best land ever, and soldiers cant take it away.
It is the most blessed place God has made on earth,
a version of Paradise, where strong-hearted spirits stir.
The air is fresher than any other place could be.
Come to Palestine yourself and look so you could see
Even though that every drop of blood that gets spilled
Is every drop of their goal that gets filled
We stand up tall and strong
Against every person who does sinning and wrong
And now, as my life is approaching death,
I will say these two sentences with my final breath:
Through all the fire and shattering bombs, Im lying in my cot.
Through all the cries and sorrowful wails, Im thinking only one thought.
