Lament of the great fighter

 

Prof. Abdul Sattar Qasim

 

I sacrifice myself for the soul Oh lion of men
Ranote of glory in the mountain tops

Whatever gentleman I became today Toda
You ascended us to the paths of happiness

Whatever soul always walked in the soul
You pulled the pulse, symbol of struggle

So, O Qasim, roars with thunder?
And from Jerusalem it is covered with beauty

And the earth grew Tulkarm calling
Salil al-Khidr with good al-Jazal

And the Nablus is proud today
The soil of the earth blooms with majesty

And maintained principles and shouted at us
Sowing the earth abounds in struggle

With the fullness of the millennium, I always led the rejection
To surrender no no you didn’t care

Whatever pen, any luminous glow.
The stepson of humiliation yearns for assassination

I kept the Covenant I never met you
Let down the determination, Laith Al-Nazal

I asked God to give you a praise
From mercy I pray with supplication

To his attic, so seek happily
To heaven you approach with swaggery
