Welcome to Season 2, episode 13 of the Zabaan-e-aam podcast. In this episode, I am sharing a poem I have translated into Punjabi from the Arablit Quarterly magazine. In the latest edition of the Arablit Quarterly, various diary entries from Gaza have been published. In the last episode I translated a diary entry by Besan Nateel. This time I have picked a poem written by Basman Aldirawi. It talks about the unpredictability of life in Gaza. Basman is a physiotherapist and a graduate of Al-Azhar University in Gaza in 2010. Inspired by an interest in music, movies, and people with special needs, he contributes dozens of stories to the online platform 'We Are Not Numbers'. Thank you for listening to Zabaan-e-aam. I will be back with more poems and stories from Gaza.
