In The Memory Of Yasser Arafat (1929-2004)

By Mr. Ali Shareef H.Filigasdhoshuge Male Maldives.

A Symbolism of holy struggle,
A man of conviction and courage,
He is the legacy of Palestine,

His life long fight for liberation,
His aim, an independent state,
He is the hope of Palestine.

Dedicated patriot of his country,
Faced many attempted attacks,
He is the leader of Palestine,

Personified his people's dream,
Defends and advocates the course,
He is the founder of Palestine.

His demise a tragic loss for them,
shedding tears, many people wept,
He is the father of Palestine.

Resolution 242, passed by the UN,
It was the fruit of his hard labour,
He is the idol of Palestine.
