Hassan Nasrallah: The Lion of Resistance (An Ode)
The Burial Day of Hassan Nasrallah: A Nation in Mourning
Ode to Hassan Nasrallah: The Lion of Resistance
Curated and edited by Mohammad Reza Peysepar
O Hassan, the Lion of Lebanon’s hills,
Your voice, a thunder, shattered the oppressor’s will.
From Bourj Hammoud’s humble streets you rose,
A beacon of hope, where resistance flows.
Your life, a testament to steadfast might,
A warrior of faith, in justice’s light.
With every word, you stirred the soul,
With every act, you made the broken whole.
In ’82, you forged Hezbollah’s flame,
A shield for the weak, a thorn to the oppressor’s name.
Through years of struggle, you stood unbowed,
Your courage a banner, your name avowed.
In 2006, the world saw your might,
A David against Goliath, in the darkest night.
You taught us strength is not in size,
But in the fire of hearts that never compromise.
O Hassan, your martyrdom, a star’s bright fall,
Yet your light lingers, inspiring us all.
In Beirut’s skies, your spirit soars,
A call to resist, to fight, to roar.
You walked the path of Imam Hussein,
With sacrifice and honor, through blood and pain.
Your death, a flame, ignites the oppressed,
A legacy of resistance, eternally blessed.
O leader, O guide, O voice of the free,
Your life a hymn to humanity’s plea.
Though you are gone, your echo remains,
In every heart that breaks its chains.
So rest, O Lion, in eternal peace,
Your legacy of courage shall never cease.
For in the struggle for justice and right,
Hassan Nasrallah, you are the eternal light.
