Gaza

A tiny, lifeless body,
All wrapped in white,
Janazah prayers are done,
Day turns to night.

Another faceless casualty
Of injustice and hate.
How can one so innocent
Suffer such a fate?

His smile was a guiding light,
His laughter, a sweet song.
A father's grief, a mother's tears
Flowing all night long.

Broken toys are scattered,
Heaps of rubble on the ground.
No more laughing children,
Bitter weeping, the only sound.

The innocence of childhood
Savagely taken away.
Hollow faces filled with pain,
Look too old to play.

A lifetime filled with sorrow,
With rage and bitter pain.
We ask Allah for victory,
Our prayers are not in vain!
