The Dawn of Men.. The Dawn of Palestine
O dearest people to the heart,
A people who learned from pain how to turn it into light,
And a homeland that, whenever they thought that the night had lengthened its stay within it, gave birth to a new dawn from the womb of suffering.
I write to you today not just with the ink of words, but with the pulse of the heart and an unshakeable faith that Palestine is destined for a different morning.
This people has been tired for a long time,
Tired from the wars that stole the laughter of children,
From the division that weighed down the spirit,
And from the corruption that robbed the dream of some of its features.
From an occupation that sought to make barriers fate and the closed door a destiny.
But great nations do not die,
And Palestine has never been anything but great.
We stand today on the threshold of a new era,
An era that is not made with slogans but with will,
Not built with fear, but with men who know that the homeland is greater than names and interests,
And that the dignity of the people is the foundation of the coming state.
We will form a government of men… yes, men.
A government that prioritizes the citizen before the chair,
And the hungry before the speech,
And the young person who waits for a chance at life before any other account.
A government that knows that responsibility is not a privilege but a sacrifice,
And that only those who carry the pain of the people in their hearts deserve to bear the trust of the homeland.
And we will hold accountable every coward,
And anyone who delayed in aiding this people,
And anyone who thought that popular patience is silence without memory,
And that pain could become a habit.
No…
For the people who bleed remember the names of those who stood with them and those who delayed them,
And a day will come when the truth will be clearer than the sun.
And Fatah will return strong,
Not just as an organizational title,
But as a unifying national idea,
As a spirit that knows how to gather the scattered Palestinians around a single project:
Freedom, state, dignity, and independent national decision.
It will return because it is the daughter of this people,
And because it knows that the moment of great awakening is near.
And Palestine will return free,
Free from occupation,
Free from fear,
Free from the division that has exhausted its heart,
Free from every door that was closed in the face of a person who wanted to cross to his city or his dream.
We will raise the barriers and remove the doors,
And we will open the roads between cities as we open hearts among people.
We will fill the distances between Gaza and the West Bank,
Between Jerusalem and its people,
Between the camp and its homeland,
Until the Palestinian can return to his brother without permission from anyone,
And the homeland becomes a single space that accommodates love, work, and life.
Amidst all this rubble,
A just peace will also be born,
A peace that does not arise from exhaustion but from dignity,
Not from fear but from justice,
A peace that preserves the rights of the Palestinian person in his land, life, and future,
And gives this land a chance to breathe after all this ash.
O people of Palestine,
The dream is no longer distant,
But has become closer than ever.
Good days are coming,
And joy is coming,
And freedom is coming,
And with it a morning resembling the faces of mothers when the absent return.
Trust that this night, no matter how long it lasts,
Must bow before the dawn of men,
Before a people who decided to rise,
And before a homeland created to be free, dignified, and radiant with peace.
