Free Palestine Poems
1. A Plea for Peace
A heartfelt call for someone powerful to embrace peace and grant Palestine its freedom.
O Powerful! hear the world’s refrain,
End the pain, break the chain.
Palestine dreams of skies so clear,
Where children laugh, without fear.
From ancient lands to seas so vast,
Let the conflicts be in the past.
Two nations, side by side,
Where peace prevails, and hate has died.
For futures bright and histories deep,
It’s time to make the leap.
O Powerful! let Palestine be free,
Together, shape a world in unity.
2. The Caged Bird’s Song
An allegorical reflection on Palestine’s yearning for freedom, symbolized by a caged bird longing to soar.
In the garden where both shadows and blooms reside,
The caged bird yearns, spreads its wings wide.
Dreams of azure skies and a song so free,
Hoping the key turns, and releases its plea.
From golden dawns to silvery nights,
It sings of peace, of equal flights.
For every cage, no matter how strong,
Cannot silence the bird’s hopeful song.
In the heart of the garden, let freedom ring,
For every bird deserves its spring.
Unlock the door, let the song soar high,
Underneath the vast, endless sky.
2. Whispers of Olive Trees
This poem reflects on the enduring spirit and resilience of Palestine, using olive trees as a symbol of its rich history and hope.
In ancient groves where whispers weave,
Palestine’s soul, its heart still beats.
Olive branches tell tales untold,
Of resilience, courage, spirits bold.
Long years of struggle, yet hope remains,
In every stone, and every grain.
The roots run deep, through pain and strife,
Yet still they stand, full of life.
Dreams of freedom in children’s eyes,
Beneath the vast, unending skies.
For Palestine, we hope and pray,
For peace to dawn, a brighter day.
3. Long Poem: “Legacy of the Land”
This poem paints a picture of the rich tapestry of Palestinian culture, history, and the undying quest for freedom and justice.
From ancient cities to rolling seas,
Palestine, land of histories.
Where prophets walked and legends grew,
And every stone a story knew.
Jerusalem’s heart, Al-Aqsa’s call,
Echoes of prayers, rise and fall.
Olive trees, with age-old grace,
Guardians of a sacred place.
Cobbled alleys, market’s hum,
The aroma of za’atar and then some.
Families gather, stories to share,
Of ancestors’ dreams, in the crisp evening air.
Faces etched with tales of yore,
Resilience, in every pore.
For every tear, a song is sung,
Of freedom’s bell, yet to be rung.
Children play in alleyways tight,
Dreaming of stars, shining bright.
Hoping for days of laughter and glee,
In a free Palestine, as it should be.
Dabke dances, joy unconfined,
The rhythm of a collective mind.
For in each step, each tune, each verse,
Is Palestine’s love, its universe.

Poems about Palestine in Arabic
Here are three poems in Arabic about Palestine, focusing on its resilience, beauty, and enduring spirit:
1. “أرض الزيتون” (Land of olives)
في أرض الزيتون، نحلم ونقاوم،
قوة الشعب، كجذور الشجر.
في كل زيتونة قصة وذكرى،
أرض فلسطين، قلبنا ودرب البصر.ترابها شهد لكل معركة،
وصدى الأذان يملأ الأفق البعيد.
فلسطين، حلم الحرية لا ينكسر،
في القلب تبقى، دائمًا بلا حدود وبلا حد.
2. “نسيم القدس” (Breeze of Jerusalem)
نسيم القدس يحمل ذكريات،
من الماضي البعيد، إلى الآن.
شوارعها تروي قصص الأجداد،
وصدى الأمل، في كل زاوية وحيان.أطفالها يحلمون بالسماء الزرقاء،
وفي عيونهم شمس الحرية تشرق.
أرض الأنبياء، الحب والأمان،
فلسطين لا تنسى، دائمًا في القلب تدق.
3. “رسالة من غزة” (Message from Gaza)
غزة التي لا تنكسر، ولا تستسلم،
في وجه العاصفة، قوية كالصخر.
رغم الحصار والألم والظلم،
روحها تعلو، كالنسر.أطفالها يلعبون على شواطئها الذهبية،
متجاهلين أصوات الحروب القاسية.
في غزة، الحياة تستمر،
والأمل بالحرية، لا يموت أبدًا ولا يخضع.
