Mahmoud Darwish

Not There, Not here
Arabic

This piece incorporates the first two lines of the poem by noted Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. The Palestinian population of Syria has been particularly vulnerable to both attack and forced military conscription. Syrian Palestinians are very likely to attempt to flee the country and seek refuge elsewhere.

The section from which the poetry is selected reads:

I am from there. I am from here.
I am not there and I am not here.
I have two names, which meet and part,
and I have two languages.
I forget which of them I dream in.

أنا من هناك أنا من هنا
ولست هناك ولست هنا
ليَ اسمان يلتقيان ويفترقان
ولي لغتان نسيت بأيهما كنت أحلم
