Stop Genocide and Save Gaza
Imrul Kayes
Fateless women of Khan Yunis.
Homeless people of Jabalia
Uncounted hungry people of Rafah
Thousands sick elders of Jenin
My heart is cracked watching your miseries.
Your intolerable sufferings made me shocked.
But, don't stop keeping hope on our Rob.
When, where none is found to save you,
Allah might be a shield at the fag end.
Once, you had homes in Jenin, Jabalia, Rafah, Khan Yunis
Once, you had names like Hisham, Refaat, Samar, Shireen, Lubna, Faatima
Once, you had families like Akhleh, Ommi, Baba, Seedo, Sitti.
Once, you were known as poet, violinist, gardener scholar.
Now, you’re homeless, nameless, jobless without family.
If you must die, kill the killers before your last breath
If you must die, throw a rocket towards the killers
If you must die, push the trigger of a ballistic missile
`Jihad’ is the last proclamation from the Heaven.
Hey, slumbering Arabians and the Muslim Ummah,
Rise up, rise up, time is passing away.
Don’t you hear the untold miseries of Palestine;
Jenin, Jabalia, Rafah, Khan Yunis and Gaza?
Don’t you get the smell of blood from
Shireen, Lubna, Hisham, Refaat, Samar
And many unnamed stars?
The Mediterranean Sea has been reddened with their blood.
Rise up, rise up, the slumbering Arabians
Rise up, rise up, save Palestine and Gaza
Help them sustain the right of their land.
Lubna Alyaan’s violin is still calling us.
Let’s respond to her cry unitedly.
18 April 2025
Khuna.
