In This Land… A Song of Contribution “Twenty-Six”

From arabesque halls to wisdom’s arcades,

Echoing thoughts to weave through the ages,

Palestinian minds, illuminate the bold,

The universe’s secrets they unfold.

Like grains of stardust in the celestial dome,

Their brilliance illuminates every tome.

Minds that soared like al-Muqaddasi of old,

Mapping knowledge in scrolls unrolled.

Ibn Rushd’s logic, sharp as Damascus steel,

Unveiled truths that even time can’t conceal.

Al-Khalili’s astrolabe, a cosmic dance,

Measured stars with a scholar’s trance.

In the bustling streets of scholarly abode,

Fatima Barnawi’s voice in wisdom flowed.

From Nablus to Gaza, from Ramallah’s height,

Her teachings spread like morning’s light.

Ghassan Kanafani’s pen, a beacon of resilience,

Wrote tales of courage, amidst the storm’s persistence.

In classrooms where dreams oft would take flight,

Hanan Ashrawi’s voice, their guiding light.

Salma Khadra Jayyusi, with pen in hand,

Wove verses of love across ancient lands.

In hearts and minds, their teachings sow,

Seeds of enlightenment that ever grow.

In the library of humanity, their legacy endures,

Where intellect and spirit steadfastly secures.

Palestinian educators, their names inscribed,

In the annals of wisdom, forever abide.
