There he taught history and, in 1957, signed a contract with Saudi Arabia to teach there. In 1959, he flew to Damascus to work in the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. From 1973 to 1978, he was representative of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement in Saudi Arabia.)
My Country
"My country, my country
My country, my land, land of my ancestors
Revolutionist, Revolutionist
Revolutionist, my people, people of perpetuity
With my determination, my fire and the volcano of my revenge
With the longing in my blood for my land and my home
I have climbed the mountains and fought the wars
I have conquered the impossible, and crossed the frontiers
With the resolve of the winds and the fire of the guns
And the determination of my nation in the land of struggle
Palestine is my home, Palestine is my fire,
Palestine is my revenge and the land of endurance
By the oath under the shade of the flag
By my land and nation, and the fire of pain
I will live as a Revolutionist*, I will remain a Revolutionist,
I will end as a Revolutionist - until my country returns
Revolutionist"
