Poem: Rise Now For Palestine

O Armed Forces of Muslims! O Sons of Khalid bin Walid!

You witness our brothers and sisters being slaughtered at the hands of the aggressors,

And yet you remain motionless,

You witness our women and children lying broken and bleeding,

And yet your steeds of war remain unstirred.

Muslims lives are now at the mercy of your enemies,

Though you know, mercy is not part of their being,

Mercy is not a concept that they will ever comprehend

To them it is nothing more than a saying,

A whisper,

A story,

A myth.

O Sons of Salahudeen!

We count and count bodies which perish under rubble,

But when asked to even consider taking up arms,

You act as if you are indisposed

And for what?

Does your blood not boil when you see our fellow Muslims

being murdered and mutilated?

It surely must!

However, the Ummah has yet to see firm signs of your desire to reassert Islam.

Are your hands bound by a man-made constitution?

Or do you simply lack the desire to surge for resolution?

You have a choice,

You always have a choice,

But you are choosing inaction before the oppressor,

And that is unacceptable,

That is unforgivable,

The real shame lies with you,

Whilst real tears and blood irrigate soil because you neglect your duty.

O Sons of Muhammad bin Qasim!

The Muslims of Palestine are not given a moment to wish their loved ones farewell, Not even a moment to recognize the tragedy which befalls them, before another finds them,

And yet, they accept Allah’s outcomes.

Martyrdom is the route you must accept,

For it is the most noble of all deaths

What is your life for the lives of thousands of innocents?

Your deed shall not be unrewarded,

For it is Allah’s promise,

Whatever your fate of the two Husnain,

Allah has assured our victory or sweet fruits of martyrdom.

O Successors of the Ansaar!

So, we demand of you,

We remind you until we no longer have strength,

Uproot these repugnant rulers who hold us back,

Give Nussrah for the return of the Khilafah, our shield,

Thus become the solace which our people seek!

Engage our magnificent armies,

And avenge the oppressed with the most vicious of onslaughts,

Become the beacon of hope which we dream of,

Empower us with the knowledge that the tide of history has returned to Islam,

And protect our brothers, our sisters, our mothers and our fathers,

It is time you delivered for us our rightful retribution,

So lead our charge and deliver us into the light now,

Forwards, along the Path of Allah.
