Additional quotes by Mahmoud Darwish

مَنْ أَنا لأقول لكمْ
ما أَقول لكمْ ؟
وأَنا لم أكُنْ حجراً صَقَلَتْهُ المياهُ
فأصبح وجهاً
ولا قَصَباً ثقَبتْهُ الرياحُ
فأصبح ناياً ...أَنا لاعب النَرْدِ ،
أَربح حيناً وأَخسر حيناً
أَنا مثلكمْ
أَو أَقلُّ قليلاً ...

أنتِ لي . . أنتِ حزني وأنتِ الفرح
أنتِ جرحي وقوس قزح
أنتِ قيدي وحرِّيتي
أنت طيني وأسطورتي
أنتِ لي . . أنتِ لي . . بجراحكْ
كل جرح حديقهْ ! .
أنت لي .. أنت لي .. بنواحك
كل صوت حقيقهْ .
أنت شمسي التي تنطفئ
أنت ليلي الذي يشتعل
أنتِ موتي , وأنت حياتي
