Finally, after waiting for so many years. I think the
waiting part was the real exciting part, though.
The Martyrs - By Ghazi Al Gosaibi
God witnesses that you are martyrs The prophet's witness, and all saints You died so that my God's Word is honoured In lands honoured by the Isra' You committed suicide? It's we who have done so In a life . . . in which the living are the dead.
O my people we have died, So let's listen to what elegies say about us. We have become powerless Until powerlessness itself complained of us. We have cried until crying despised us. We have bowed until bowing itself was sick of us We have sought hope, until hope cried for help. We have pleaded with the idols of a White House Whose heart is full of darkness. We kissed Sharon's shoe until The shoe cried, "Enough! You have ripped me apart". O people, we have died But earth was too proud to embrace us.
Say to Ayat: O bride of spears May all beauty be a sacrifice for your eyes! When the heroes, the best of my people, are castrated, It is the beautiful one who challenges the criminal. She kisses death, laughing happily, While from death the leaders flee. Paradise opened its doors, saluted you And Fatima al Zahra' received you. Say to those who write up the fatwas, wait! There are fatwas which leave heavens aghast. When the Jihad calls, the ink goes silent, And the pen and books and scholars. When Jihad calls, there is no asking for fatwas Blood is the only fatwa on the day of Jihad.
