يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ

“O Turner of the hearts, affirm my heart upon Your religion.”

اللّٰهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ قَلْبِي وَعَمَلِي

“O Allāh rectify my heart and my action”

اللهُمَّ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوْءٍ

“O Allāh, purify my heart from every evil.”

من فوقهم الطائرات ومن خلفهم الصواريخ وعلى يسارهم البحر وعلى يمينهم النار والدبابات وذاهبون للمجهول.💔🇵🇸

"Above them are the planes, behind them the missiles, to their left the sea, to their right the fire and tanks, and they are heading into the unknown."

[rawanly]

Ya Rabb, give them a way out as you gave way to Musa (pbuh), destroy those who drive them out of their homes, ya Allah 🤲🏻

SOBBING WITHOUT SOUND

I wish I could wake up and find the electricity on all day long.

I wish I could hear the birds sing again, no shooting and no buzzing drones.

I wish my desk would call me to hold my pen and write again,

or at least plow through a novel, revisit a poem, or read a play.

All around me are nothing

but silent walls

and people sobbing

without sound.

Her final tweet on October 8 reads:

“Gaza’s night is dark apart from the glow of rockets, quiet apart from the sound of the bombs, terrifying apart from the comfort of prayer, black apart from the light of the martyrs. Good night, Gaza.”

"Here are your tortured poets. All from Mahmoud Darwish to Dr. Refat Alareer to Khaled Juma, these are tortured poets. Tortured by longing for a home they can never return to, tortured by the world they were born to for BEING BORN. Palestine, home to the tortured poets department." [@/folkoftheshelf on X.

translation:

if i die and leave and get martyred in this war, i will not forgive the Arab leaders who failed us. we lived through difficult days without food or water, and my hair is turning white even though i'm so young. may god never forgive you or give you relief. i swear i will tell the creator about you.

forgive me, mom. i love you so much. please don't be sad when i die.

my message to the people of egypt, yemen, jordan, algeria, libya, lebanon, tunisia, sudan, somalia, malaysia - please don't leave Gaza alone. please, please promise me to take care of her. i love you all, please don't leave us.

if anyone finds my message, please spread it.

the martyr, godwilling, Mohammad Abdulqader Husseini
