لِسَانِ مَنْ نَجَا مِنْ أَبْنَائِهَا؛ لِتُصْبِحَ الْمَدِينَةُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَاضِعَةً لِلِاحْتِلَالِ بِشَكْلٍ كَامِلٍ.

(from previous page) ⟵ The scene of the deportation of most of them bled hearts and left a bleeding wound in the side of the Palestinian people, telling the story of pain on the tongue of those of its sons who survived, so that the city would thereafter become completely subject to occupation.

وَمَهْمَا دَارَتْ عَجَلَةُ الزَّمَنِ، تَظَلُّ لِصَفَدَ عَرَاقَةٌ وَمَكَانَةٌ حَضَارِيَّةٌ عَرَبِيَّةٌ فِي ذَاكِرَةِ الزَّمَنِ وَذَاكِرَةِ أَبْنَائِهَا، الَّذِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهَا عَاصِمَةَ الْجَلِيلِ الْجَمِيلَةَ، وَيَبْقَى هَوَاؤُهَا شِفَاءً لِكُلِّ لَاجِئٍ مَصْدُورٍ بِالْبُعْدِ عَنْهَا، وَلِلَّهِ دَرُّ الْمُتَنَبِّي حِينَ قَالَ: لَكِ يَا مَنَازِلُ فِي الْقُلُوبِ مَنَازِلُ أَقْفَرْتِ أَنْتِ وَهُنَّ مِنْكِ أَوَاهِلُ جَمَحَ الزَّمَانُ فَلَا نَذِيدٌ خَالِصٌ مِمَّا يَشُوبُ وَلَا سُرُورٌ كَامِلٌ.

No matter how time turns, Safed remains deeply rooted in Arab civilization and status within the memory of time and its own people. They view it as the beautiful capital of the Galilee, and its air remains a cure for every refugee suffering from the heartache of exile. How aptly Al-Mutanabbi spoke: 'O dwellings, you have places in the heart; you are desolate, and they are empty because of you.' Time has run wild, leaving no joy untainted and no happiness complete.
