O woodcutter chopping the branches of my olive tree / Scram! You will never get at my roots / My olive tree! / Who says it was desiccated by death? / The roots are throbbing alive in my plundered earth.
—Hanna Abu Hanna
يا حاطب الأغصان من زيتونتي / أقصِرْ فإنّك لن تطول جذوري / زيتونتي! / من قال أيبسها الرّدى / والجذر حيٌّ في الثّرى المغدور.
—حنا أبو حنا
