قصيدة اسمي فلسطيني - الطفلة خلود

فلسطيني انا اسمي فلسطيني
نقشت اسمي على كل الميادين
بخط بارز يسمو على كل العناوين
حروف اسمي تلاحقني تعايشني تغذيني
تبث النار في روحي وتنبض في شرايني
جبال النار تعرفني مغاورها وتغنيني
بذلت الطاقة الكبري وقلت لأمتي كوني
صلاح الدين في اعماق اعماقي يناديني
وكل عروبتي للثأر للتحرير تدعوني
ورائحتى التي طويت على ربوات حطين
وصوت مؤذن الاقصي يهيب بنا اغيثوني
وآلاف من الاسري وآلاف المساجين
تنادي الامة الكبري وتهتف في الملايين
تقول لهم إلى القدس إلى قبلة الدين
إلى حرب تدك الظلم تزهق روح صهيوني
وترفع في سماء الكون اعلام فلسطيني
وتهدر كلمتى تمضي فلسطيني فلسطيني
