In Gaza's solemn streets, Eid prayers resound,
Amid destruction and rain, hearts deeply bound,
In the aftermath of conflict, they stand tall,
Unified in faith, despite it all.
Their voices rise in prayer and plea,
Seeking peace in a land that longs to be free,
In the face of adversity and pain,
Their resilience shines, like a steadfast flame.
The heavy clouds above may weep,
But their spirit, strong and deep,
Guides them through the darkest hour,
United in prayer, they find power.
So let us gaze upon their awe,
Their strength in the face of war,
Gazans in unity, amidst the rain,
Performing Eid prayers, their hope sustained.
