Mawtani, "My homeland" was written by the Palestinian poet Ibrahim Hefeth Touqan.

English Lyrics:
My homeland
My homeland
Glory and beauty
Sublimity and prettiness
Are in your hills
Life and deliverance
Pleasure and hope
Are in your atmosphere
Will I see you?
Safe and comfortable
Sound and honored
Will I see you?
In your eminence
Reaching the stars

My homeland
My homeland

The youth will not get tired
Their goal is your independence
Or they die
We will drink from death
But we will not be slaves to our enemies
We do not want
An eternal humiliation
Nor a miserable life
We do not want
But we will return
Our great glory

My homeland
My homeland

The sword and the pen
Are our symbols
Not talking nor quarreling
Our glory and covenant
And a duty to fulfill it
Shake us
Our honor
Is an honorable cause
A raised flag
O, your beauty
In your eminence
Victorious over your enemies

My homeland
My homeland

[saeelo12]

even the american govornment got sick of your govornment lies. read the maareef newspaper about it. and finally the only jew that are allowed to claim palestine. are the palestinian jews.

I am fighting for an arab democratic palestine where christian, jew and muslim can live freely. finally you are welcomed to live among us but you are not welcomed to occupy us

"the resistance was born to live, and it will live and win for the people of palestine, israel to the trash of history

[saeelo12]

Yes israel=satan

first all of us know that israel is not ruled by a democracy. it is ruled by IDF. no wonder all prime ministers are ex- criminal of war.

if you call Hezbollah terrorist, so is IDF both of them are in the same situation. IDF has no legimacy to exist. and you people who live in the so called state of israel you know it vey well. they control the govornment and take every decision. from the war of 6 days, galile peace, war of 2006 and finally gaza war.

who killed isaac rabeen?

Why does USA give billions of dollars to Israel while millions of Americans are living in poverty, while millions of Americans are homeless?

[Bobalugee1940]

Deuteronomy 28:7 A PROMISE TO ISRAEL:

The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

You are fighting a losing battle.

Draconhosta: you may disagree with Ms. Kelani, but please don't call her a 'disgrace'. In fact many Iraqis in the audience were supportive of her. Ms. Kelani's ancestors are originally from Iraq, and as an Iraqi you should have recognised the family name. She is against the allied western forces there and NOT the Iraqi people. HSMFREEK14: I salute your efforts to stand for your aunt (lucky you), but please don't use language that would not help your defence. Lets unite NOT fight! God bless you
