Tawfik Zayyad, tr. by Mohammed Sawaie, from Tent Generations: Palestinian Poems; “I firmly clasp your hands”

[Text ID: “I firmly clasp your hands, / I kiss the earth beneath your feet / and declare: I sacrifice myself for you. / I give you the light of my eyes as a gift, / I give you the warmth of my heart. / The tragedy I live / is my share of your own.”]
