Cry for the Beautiful Land! by Zahra

O my beautiful land
You are again a victim of bomb blast
Again our mothers are weeping for their dear ones.
Again the children are looking to the door for their father coming.
Again your weather is cloudy.
Again your earth is covered by blood.
O my beautiful land
Today again your identity was tarnished.

Today again you lost your image of beauty.
Your children feel afraid of you.
O my beautiful country.
Are you not tired?
Is it not enough?
Yes, my beautiful land!
I am tired.
I am suffering the pains.
I am compelled to say welcome to my enemy.
O my beautiful land.
Go and call your old friends.

We are tired of your new friends.
Go and call peace.
We want peace.
We are tired of war.
