Mujhe pyar karne do,
Mujhe apne dil me utarne do,
Mujhe jina hain bus tere liye,
Mujhe ab had se gujarne do,
Mujhe pyar karne do......

Ishq ik aisi bimari hain,
Jo sabke dil par bhari hain,
Mujhe ab aansoo bankar
apne aankhon me chhalakane do,
Mujhe pyar karne do.......

Tujhe haque hain meri puri zindagi par,
Mujhe ab dil bankar,
Apne sine me dharkane do,
Mujhe pyar karne do,
Mujhe pyar karne do......

Mujhe pyar karne do,
Mujhe apne dil me utarne do,
Mujhe jina hain bus tere liye,
Mujhe ab had se gujarne do,
Mujhe pyar karne do......

Ishq ik aisi bimari hain,
Jo sabke dil par bhari hain,
Mujhe ab aansoo bankar
apne aankhon me chhalakane do,
Mujhe pyar karne do.......

Tujhe haque hain meri puri zindagi par,
Mujhe ab dil bankar,
Apne sine me dharkane do,
Mujhe pyar karne do,
Mujhe pyar karne do......

When I saw you for the first time,
I knew.
The twinkle in your eyes
The curve of your smile;
All told me it was you.

You were the one I needed
To brighten up my life
You were the one I needed
Till the end, by my side.

We would hold hands in parks
And kiss each other openly
Who cares about what people say
Our love is pure poetry.

But it wasn't to be for too long
Because honey, reality came along
Rudely snatched our dreams away
Our lips were rid of their song.

The stench of death hung in the air
Blood flowed on the streets
Life was reduced to a struggle
The Heavens were flooded with prayers.

Four long years the war raged
Took much more than it gave
And it all ended on a paper
Just for the ego of souls depraved.

Time passed and we aged
With our hearts in a cage
Death was a welcome release
Our souls could finally be at peace.

As I stand here on Heaven's gates
I can see your beautiful face
You're calling out to me
"Come on in Honey,
Redemption here is free."

-Imaan Haque

Two years ago a girl named Sondos felt enthusiastic.
She started studying international law at Al Azhar University in Gaza.
She bought and studied many thick books.
Because she wanted her country Palestine to get justice.

But since last year Gaza has started to become chaotic.
Long chaos full of destruction and massacre.
It has not been stopped despite numerous protests around the world.
And also the pointless trial in Haque.

Where is justice ?!... why is there no justice for us ?!...
Don't we deserve justice ?!... why don't we get justice ?!
For over a year Sondos has always questioned justice for Palestine.
But it was useless , the justice never came.

Sondos feels disillusioned.
She has realized that international law is just a nonsense.
All she can do now is just sit in front of the campfire.
Warm herself while burning all her thick books about international law.
